Apartment/ flat - NOGENT SUR MARNE

Danielle, our host, was most communicative and helpful before and during our month’s stay, though not intrusive at all. When we arrived, she showed us around the locality, so that we knew where everything was. The apartment was very clean, with all we needed and we found it always warm and cosy - especially necessary, as we were there in very wintry weather! The location of the property is ideal, with local amenities: supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, boulangeries, butcher, pharmacies, organic shops, a great food market three times a week, practically next door! The proximity to the centre of Paris was one of the great advantages of the apartment, with Nogent-sur-Marne RER station only five minutes’ walk away. We managed to travel in most days and visited many sights, some we’d never heard of! We enjoyed visits to Vincennes, a local town with a château and only two stops up the line (although walkable in 30 minutes). The Bois de Vincennes was enchanting and there is a little lakeside café (which offers a warming hot chocolate and crêpes, amongst other things) on a cool day! A superb holiday for us!

I can not say enough great things about our stay here. The owner was amazingly nice and met us there to show us the apartment and how everything works. She had a map of the area to show us the locations of the grocery stores, bakeries, and RER. Staying here made us feel like locals as it is a very family friendly neighborhood away from all the hustle of bustle of the touristy areas. Every morning and afternoon there were kids walking to and from school. It has really easy access to grocery stores and bakeries for food everyday. The RER is just a quick 5 minute walk away. While small, there was more than enough room for our family of 5 (2 adults, 2 teens, and a pre-teen). Loved that there was a washer/dryer for us to do laundry. Loved opening the windows in the evenings and letting the cool air in while listening to the sounds of the neighborhood after a long day of sightseeing. I could not recommend this place enough!

We were greeted by Danielle with a smike after an exhausting journey.she was very kind and gave us a quick wLking tour of the town so we coujd get our bearings which was very useful, the apartment was well presented. We really enjoyed our stay it only took about 30minutes to get a train into the centre of Paris Th

We booked this property as early as we could once we found out we'd be attending Olympics events. Danielle was great at communication while we booked - and I was relieved to find something in a quiet area away from the Olympics craziness, but still close enough to take the RER A to all of our venues easily. My kids (7, 10, 12) were thrilled to each have their own place to sleep (2 twins and a pull out couch). My oldest, especially, was happy that there was a door to the room with the pullout couch so at night, it became a separate bedroom. During the day, we used the room for dining/TV. The kids also loved the courtyard, neighborhood cats, and hearing a neighbor play the piano. My husband and I appreciated the location of the property most of all. He walked to the main town of Nogent sur Marne several times to pick up food (Thai food, burgers), and we developed a (bad) habit of visiting the bakery every day (at least once) because their morning choquettes were just too good to pass up. The staff got to know the kids and would sometimes slip in an extra :) The proximity to Picard, Carrefour, and Franprix is excellent, as well as the Geek Store for board games (you can pay to play there as well). Walk to market, playground, giant park... so easy! All in all, Danielle's house is the coziest home base for travels in and around Paris. She is a great communicator, showed us around the neighborhood when we checked in, and let us be to enjoy our vacation! Book it!
