This article in Women’s Health magazine reviews the benefits of a serviced apartment over a hotel in Paris.
The two travellers were competing in the Paris Marathon, so looking for comfort, space, a kitchen for pre-race carb loading, and close proximity to the start line to avoid time in cabs. They talk about ‘the kind of comforts you just don’t get in hotels … most crucially, a kitchen stocked with everything needed to whip up a post-race recovery meal’.
The conclusion: “For friends travelling together, it strikes the perfect balance: private bedrooms for downtime, but communal space for planning your day over coffee or collapsing on the sofa post-run with snacks and Strava stats.”
