For travelers who stay in style, there’s an option beyond five-star hotels. Avenue Story offers luxury apartments and villas, as kind of the Nieman Marcus to AirBnB’s Macy’s.

Whether you are planning to spend your summer wandering along the Brighton Beach in the UK or strolling around le Marais in Paris, choosing the right accommodation is a challenge. You need to consider the neighborhood, clean bathroom, and most importantly, the presence of Wi-Fi before booking your place. Avenue Story, founded by Irina Raileanu makes it easy to book a luxe or even a castle for a unique getaway in Europe.

Avenue Story serves its clients with luxurious apartments across Europe, including Paris, Barcelona, London, Florida, Morzine (Rhône-Alpes region in eastern France), and suburban areas of Italy. According to their story, they “curated a collection of the quirkiest homes, added hotel-style amenities and bought in a bunch of friendly, incredibly knowledgeable guides to show the guests what it truly feels to be a local.”

Most of the luxes in Paris, London, and Barcelona are located at the heart of cultural center – near Trocadero neighborhood where you can glimpse at the Eiffel Tower while sipping red wine, around the business and financial Canary Wharf region in London where you can browse presents for your friends at Westfield Stratford City, Europe’s largest urban shopping center, or simply spend a romantic night with your significant other enjoying the night view of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

Most of the accommodations provided by Avenue Story include a kitchenette, a washing machine, a flat-screen cable TV, air-conditioning and heating services, towels, and of course, they boast unlimited Wi-Fi access and ostentatious vintage furniture (c’est magnifique!).

You can’t bring your own bed with you, but I’m sure that Avenue Story will make you feel welcomed presenting the city’s authenticity and comfort. On top of that, Avenue Story will hook you up with one of their local ambassadors in the city to start your jaunt, so make sure to book the events before you had for airports – they get filled quickly!
