My husband and I spent a month in Danièle's apartment and it was very hard to leave. We highly recommend staying there.
Batignolles is a great neighborhood chock full of interesting restaurants, shops, and green spaces. We became regulars at several nearby restaurants and sometimes had to push ourselves to explore new neighborhoods. When you ARE ready to explore, there is easy access to several bus stops and Metro stations, and plenty of nearby stands to rent electric bikes, standard bikes, and scooters. Lots of times I would just walk down to the Seine, even beyond to the Left Bank. I always felt very safe.
The apartment is lovely. Bright, cheerful, and really well decorated. I loved all the art. We didn't do any cooking, but that was only because the local restaurants are so plentiful and good. That said, the Nespresso machine and mini-fridge certainly got a lot of use, and there were plenty of pots, pans, dishes, and condiments on hand had we wanted to prepare meals. The bed is really comfortable and there was extra bedding available. Also plenty of towels of various sizes... even washcloths! We especially loved the big French doors, which give the apartment such a bright, fresh feel. Lots of at-home happy hours were spent on that balcony. The availability of a washing machine was also a huge bonus given our long stay. Although there are restaurants and cafes on the street, they wind down activity by midnight. The only noise issues we had were some young men who would "party" at the park a few night a week. This drove me nuts, but didn't bother my husband at all.
Check in was easy, and communication clear and professional. We only had to "bother" Danièle once, when one day we accidentally locked ourselves out of the apartment. Danièle had someone there within half an hour to rescue us.
Thank you for making this apartment available, Danièle, we hope to come back some day.
