L'oriflamme

Hosts met us when we arrived. Rooms were super-clean. My wife commented that she wore socks around the apartment and they didn't even get dirty! Location is awesome; right next to a number of shops, bakeries (one is 20 meters from the entrance) and restaurants. Roof-top sitting area has a view of the Papal Palace!

Not much. Our duplex (two-bedroom) apartment is on the top floor, which means three flights of stairs, and they're very narrow as is typical of old French buildings. Didn't bother us, but be aware that it's good exercise going up and down them a few times a day.

Communication in English was very easy, host is very friendly. Location is easy to find, 15-20 Min walk from Avignon Central Train Station. It’s situated in the old town, there is a supermarket and a boulangerie right next to the building, you can also find a lot of cafes, restaurants and stores in the area. Area is very tourist friendly, so you can walk all you want. Apartament is equipped with everything and bigger than it seems in the photos, self check in and check out is also very handy.

It’s an old building with little sun light, so it can get a little colder, but there’s an AC working, so you can use that if needed.

The apartment was very clean and spacious, in a fantastic central location close to bars, restaurants, supermarkets, shops and the main train/bus station - perfect for exploring the old town and as a base for day trips. All of beautiful Avignon's sights are within walking distance from the apartment but despite the central location, the area was quiet at night and we slept soundly. Thomas and Julie were the most wonderful hosts who made our trip even more memorable. Great communication before and during our stay. Nothing was too much trouble for this lovely couple who went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We were sad to leave and hope to be back!

Everything was excellent.

Thomas was an excellent host with superb communication. We didn’t need to message him at all since he had thought of everything. Thomas met us at Check-in which was very smooth and easy. The apartment is in a superb location with everything you could need. The air conditioning was very welcome even though we stayed in early September (28C). You are within the City’s historic walls which as an area is mainly pedestrian. All of the Historic sites of interest are within easy walking distance We chose to park in the “Halles” car park which had the added bonus that our “Liber-t” toll tag was read so we didn’t have to bother with tickets and paying onsite. As other reviews have noted access is tight which tests your driving skills.

Nothing negative about L’Oriflamme or Thomas. However, Avignon’s natural stone pathways are very slippery when wet. Make sure you have suitable footwear. Nearly went over several times.

We arrived late but Julie met us at the property to show us around and helped us get our bags up the stairs. The view of Palace des Popes from the little balcony at sunset was amazing. Julie recommended a restaurant where we enjoyed having dinner. Julie also kindly drive us to pick up our hire care the next morning. It was a short but lovely stay. Highly recommended

The 3 flights of narrow stairs were difficult with bags but worth it when you saw the view from the balcony

Absolutely could not be more impressed with Thomas and L'oriflamme. Completely seamless from start to finish. Very clean accommodations. Fully stocked with everything you need to cook and eat. Comfortable balcony with a beautiful view. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was large and clean. Very close to a supermarket which has everything you could possibly need. A brisk 15 minute scenic walk from Avignon Center.

None of my "complaints" were issues for my fiance and I but only notes for future guests to keep in mind: our room on the third floor was accessed by a steep flight of stairs. The kitchen as well was accessed by steep stairs. Anyone with any slight mobility issues might have trouble. As well, it can be a bit loud at night with a bar just down the street. Was entertaining for us to hear people out late having fun but keep in mind it can get a bit noisy.

Clean, safe location 10 minutes walk from Papal Palace. Check in and contact with owners was very good. We had a problem trying to operate the hob . It is fitted at 90 degrees so the instructions on the wall don't make sense but Thomas was very quick to offer advice and provide a solution. The flat is quite large and well-equipped. Supermarket within 50m. Great shower.

Local pub noisy (Saturday night only - not the fault of the L'oriflamme owners).

The property was in a great location of the town with plenty of amenities and very close to the tourist attractions, in fact we had a great view of the castle from our balcony! The host Thomas was very helpful, greeting us on arrival, assisting us to get settled in the property and providing dinner recommendations.

1 of the bedrooms was weak for the wifi signal which meant streaming video did some buffering

The hosts were absolutely great to communicate with. Very nice, helpful and flexible with the check-in, and they sent me documents with tips about what to do in Avignon. The room was spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and clean. The location is very good, close to shops, bars and restaurants, also a very nice walk from all the monuments.

The property was in a central location, close a supermarket and many food establishment. - Access to the property was straight forward using key code and security cameras were present in the hall. - The apartment had all the required utensils and electric you would expect in your own kitchen at home. - Although I stayed for 1 night, it would be perfect for a long stay.

Nothing.
