For me, this apartment was the perfect Airbnb experience in Paris.
Communication with Danièle throughout was smooth and easy, and the place is IMMACULATE. Daniele is the consummate host, leaving a pair of slippers, plus oj, coffee, milk, butter, jam, etc. for me as a welcome, along with a Nespresso machine and pods! You can tell from her thorough, laminated house manual that she has put a lot of thought into making her guests comfortable and recommending spots to check out while you're in the City of Lights. The space is bright, comfy, and well-appointed, with a nice mix of traditional and modern elements, including fun lamps and modern art. I'm a cook, and the kitchen has everything you need, thoughtfully organized. The building itself is elegant, with carpeted stairs and a charming little elevator, which is helpful after shopping! The balcony was wonderful. I ate many meals there, enjoying the view. I prefer a truly Parisian neighborhood, and Les Batignolles is exactly that. It is a bit outside the center, but easily accessible to all, and I like the calm and authenticity. There are great restaurants, cafes, multiple boulangers, and chic shops close by, and 3 metro lines within an easy walk. The fantastic Rue des Levis is also close, with its open-air markets for delicious food, plus the Bio (organic) market on weekends. There's even a nice supermarket just around the corner. This apartment was everything I had hoped for and Danièle and her sister both welcomed me with true kindness. Danièle even accommodated my request for an early check-in. It would be a pleasure to stay here again, and as a designer and frequent traveler, I can say that the level of cleanliness, furnishings, and organization was equal to that of a good hotel, but way more fun if you want to live like a real Parisian "Chez Vous"! Don't hesitate to book this apartment--c'est super! Merci Danièle for everything--a bientôt!
