A 2 bedroom dream home in the 2eme
Apartment Brian
Welcome to Apartment Brian in Paris, another specially unique and homely space in Paris handpicked by Petite Paris for its charm, impeccable presentation, authentic style and atmosphere and its unbeatable location.
This bright spacious dream home is a 2 bedroom abode for 1-4 guests. It is a completely private self-contained apartment in the absolute central heart of Paris.
The 2eme is known as the foodies paradise with Rue Montorgueil the long cobblestoned pedestrian only strip of fresh food, markets, cafes and boutique gourmet shops that are all literally around the corner from your home where you will make many local spots ‘your spot’.
It is an extremely sought after location and one of my absolute favourites for living and visiting Paris. Equally you are bordering the 3eme - le marais and within 5 mins walk you are in the bustle of the most historic trendy and exquisite part of the city that every one wants to live in. Furthermore you are walking distance to the 9eme, and 10eme, and even better mere minutes to the major attractions of the right bank of Paris - Jardin Tuileries, the Louvre, Palais Royal, Opera Garnier, Place Concorde, Rue Saint Honore with its line up of luxury boutiques, Rue Rivoli and the Seine River.
This means that at your doorstep you are inevitable spoilt with bars, brasseries, patisseries, cafes, bistrots, parks, secret gardens and passages, shops, museums, markets - absolutely everything you dream of experiencing in the city. Iconic Paris scenes are at your door.

About your host Alvene:
Alvene is of Malaysian heritage and from Brisbane Australia. 15 years ago he came to Paris and fell in love and basically never left.
He is a pastry chef in Paris (he knows all the best pastry and coffee places both in the area of the apartment and within all of Paris).
He purchased his apartment as his primary residence but also lives between his Paris home and another Paris home he rents. When Alvene is not in this apartment he offers it to fellow Aussie or international guests.
Alvene is a wonderful host, who aligns with Petite Paris ethos of making connections with guests. For Alvene (and Petite Paris) it is not just about offering travellers an empty apartment, Alvene is also is a friend, who will welcome you upon arrival, show you all the bits-and-bobs of the home, spend time with you sharing his city tips, as well as helping you to plan you Paris days from the apartment.
He loves to connect with guests in a deeper way, getting to know them and promising them the utmost quality hospitality and care.
Alvene offers bike riding tours around Paris too, another way for him to get to know his guests and vice-versa for guests to get to know Alvene, as well as the city, and hopefully make this their ‘forever’ home in Paris.
