My husband, son, granddaughter and I stayed at this apartment for six weeks this summer. While I worked, both running my nonprofit organization in New Orleans and attending classes in Paris, my husband and the children spent most days walking to the many nearby cafe's and parks. Early mornings before everyone was awake, I enjoyed working over coffee on the terrace. The wifi signal was great outdoors as well as inside the apartment. On Saturdays we shopped for fresh fruit for the week at the Batignolle market and we bought hot croissants, pain au chocolate and baguettes on a daily basis from several nearby bakeries. This is what I miss most about Paris and this neighborhood, great food!
The living room at the apartment is spacious. The kitchen is fully equipped with more dishes, pots, and appliances than you'll ever need during a short stay. It was great having access to a washing machine, dryer and dishwasher, and more than adequate cleaning supplies at the apartment. While there were only four of us, the apartment can comfortably accommodate six people with enough living space that no one would feel cramped. The terrace could easily accommodate nice social gatherings if the noise is kept to a level respectful of nearby tenants.
Nights were quiet and it was nice sleeping with windows open to enjoy cool breezes. There was enough crawling space for our toddler who started walking towards the end of our stay. We did have to move the many breakables out of the way. The owners have a nicely furnished apartment with many, many personal keepsakes and renters should be willing to take exceptional care of both the plants inside and out with weekly waterings and glass statues, etc. I was always conscious of this as someone's home and felt like a welcome guest.
The owners responded quickly via email to questions, were kind enough to leave us a couple of Metro tickets, and we had no problem meeting someone with keys upon arrival. The improvement that I would have liked was more storage space for our belongings. Otherwise, we had a very nice experience that we will remember for years to come.
