Les Batignolles, Nature, Art and a Village-Like Spirit

On our recent visit to Paris my mother and I decided that it would be much nicer to rent an appartment for the week instead of being stuck in a hotel. There were four of us women- my 82 year old mother, a young cousin, a family friend and myself. We were so pleased with all the help that Jose gave us when we were looking into the rental of this property. He answered all my many questions and was very prompt with his replies. The appartment was just as described and pictured on the web site, actually we were all very pleasantly surprised at how really lovely it was - there were no pictures of the beautiful ceilings, very nice elevator, and the lovely hard wood floors. The appartment was very comfortable - the beds were great and there was additiional pillows and blankets if we needed them. The living room/dining room was a great place to relax, visit and write in our journals. We did have a bit of trouble with the tv, but we are all technically challenged...The kitchen was fun to cook in - we even had a dinner party for friends! The neighborhood is great - shops are acrossed the street and very easy to get to. There is a Metro stop a block away and bus service around the corner - very easy to get around Paris from the appartment. When we arrived Baltazar (Paris agent) met us and showed us all around the appartment - that was really a nice touch! All in all we loved our little Paris home and are ready to return!
Our only disclaimer would be that it was difficult for my mother to use the shower/bathtub - in France the tub sides are very high and she was very nervous about getting in and out of the tub - maybe some grab bars?? Anyway we would return again to this property and really enjoyed dealing with Baltazar and Jose.

We stayed at the apartment for 4 nights and had the most pleasant stay. Being a group of 5 adults we were a little worried about being cramped but we had enough space and was just perfect. The nearby park is a must on a sunny day and really sets the tone of Paris, if you cross through the park you can enjoy wonderful little markets and corner cafes. If you're used to taking the metro you'll have no problems, there is also a taxi rank near by and i think we paid around €10 to get to the city centre and around €30 for 2 of us to get to the airport. The only problem we had was with the bathroom door proving a little difficult to open once closed. Other than that the apartment was very clean and in great condition and the staff we also very welcoming and helpful on arrival and departure. The listing photos and description are really very accurate and we were very happy with our choice.
