I had planned a 3 day trip to Paris together with my boyfriend, it was both our first visit to Paris. We chose Aurélies and Nicolas' apartment because we thought Montmartre would be a good area for us and the apartment sounded and looked nice on the ad. When I arrived, Aurélie welcomed me warmly, showed and explained everything to me and I found that the flat looks even nicer in real than in the photos! I immediately felt comfortable and at home.
The apartment has a lovely cut and interieur. Apparently, it was furnished and decorated with both mind and heart: From the arrangement of furniture and colours down to the lightning and art as well as the smallest details such as a wardrobe knob - everything seems well thought out and elegant (but not at all "overdesigned" like a catalogue picture!) but super comfy and cosy. Overall, this apartment was the perfect fit for our weekend in Paris and as beautiful as Montmartre itself.
- Concerning Montmartre: This quarter (located on and named after the hill Montmatre) is just admirable with its curved cobblestone streets and alleys, which occasionally offer a view of the basilica Sacré-Cœur located at the top of the hill. From up there you have a great panorama view over Paris and all over the quarter there are beautiful buildings, little parks and squares, even a small vineyard. There is also a wide variety of beautiful restaurants, cafés, cabarets, art galleries, and small shops. We barely left Montmartre because we thought it would be more relaxing to stay in the close area instead of trying to rush through the whole city in just a few days. So we strolled around and explored Montmartre, enjoying our time there to the fullest, and were always happy to return to the flat in the evening or in between the day.
(Although for us it was perfectly fine to stay only in Montmartre, there are also busses and Metropolitan stations to take you elsewhere ;))
When we departed, we had been so enchanted by Montmartre and by the flat that we were truly sad to leave the place - but all the more determined to come back, because it was just wonderful. Thank you so so much Aurélie and Nicolas and see you soon :)
