Boulogne-Billancourt holiday

We have stayed twice in this apartment and will definitely stay again. It is a spacious, nicely decorated apartment with all the amenities you could possibly need on a vacation. It is a home away from home. Two bedrooms and a murphy bed in the living room which we found it to be very cozy and comfortable. Boulogne is a very charming town. We walked to the shopping area which is right behind the building. Parisians were very nice and helpful. The apartment is very close to 2 metro stations. We traveled with my 80 year old mother and would walk without a problem to the metro station and be in the Paris major attractions in no time. The owner provides excellent customer service. The first time we stayed had a problem with the door lock. She took care of the problem immediately and we noticed the second time she had changed the whole lock system to a much better one. Congratulations to the owner!!

This apartment includes everything you could need while away from home: a private balcony, unlimited telephone and internet access, a CD player, a widescreen television, and perhaps most importantly, the ability to brew your own coffee at any time of the day or night. There are two showers (one with a bath) and a separate water closet; this arrangement is preferable to a hotel, in which only one person can wash or groom at a time.

This apartment is well situated, just outside of Paris. If you look to your right out of either of the bedroom windows, you can see the Eiffel Tower. The sun shines brightly into the kitchen and dining areas on the other side of the apartment. It’s a spacious and comfortable place; the homey décor reminds us of staying with relatives. It affords a lot of privacy, though our interaction with other tenants was always pleasant. Boulogne-Billancourt has a charm all its own, far enough away from the crowded center of the city to be relaxing, but close enough to the attractions to be exciting.

This apartment is not only a good value, but convenient too. There are an assortment of shops within the apartment complex; my husband was happy to find a dry cleaner and a comic book shop downstairs, as well as an Italian restaurant that serves pizza to go, perfect for days when sightseeing leaves you too tired for dinner at a restaurant. There are many more shops only a short walk beyond that, including a bakery, a pharmacy, and two grocery stores — the low-priced Monoprix, and the organic specialty Naturalia. The Métro station Marcel Sembat is also only a short walk from the apartment and takes you into the center of Paris in minutes.

Overall, très bien! We look forward to our next visit.
