Bagnolet apartments

If you've never been to Paris this apartment is a brilliant place to stay. The view from the balcony starts off your city sightseeing adventure and with three metro stations within a short walking distance, and a bus stop at the door, it is unbelievably easy and quick to get yourselves around to see the city's icons. The local area around Dominique's apartment has everything you need - cafes, restaurants, groceries, bakeries, butchers, fresh produce stalls, pharmacy. The apartment works really well. It is secure, cosy and peaceful. The small kitchen works well for coffee breaks and for making easy meals when you just don't feel like eating out again. The bed is comfy and easily converts into seating for the daytime. We were desperate to get some clothes washed by the time we arrived and thankfully the apartment has a washing machine and a drying rack. The building has some kind of dehumidifying system which means the bathroom stays dry and clothes dry overnight. Its brilliant! If you're used to showering only then you'll need to adapt to sitting in the bath with a hand held shower hose. I found it easy to adapt to but it may be more difficult for some. All in all this apartment is a great place for kiwis to get-away and see the great city of Paris. Highly recommend. Thanks Dominique for sharing your place with us and thanks to Valerie for settling us in.
