This apartment is in the heart of Monmartre - a short walk from Gare du Nord and a very pleasant walk down the hill to Opera Garnier, Place de la Concorde and the bottom of the Champs-Elysées. The apartment is owned by Linda, who greeted us when we arrived and gave us our key. It was absolutely perfect for us, with a large, comfortable bed, walk-in shower with lashings of hot water and a main room comprising lounge, dining and kitchen. There was no noise from the street (being 2 flights up) or the neighbours.
What we liked about the flat was its central location - surrounded by bistros and wine bars, coffee shops, delis, amazing cheese shops and then, of course, the imposing Sacré-Cœur sitting above it all, with the streets teaming with street artists, food-vendors and exquisite art shops.
We quickly abandoned the idea of doing the big monuments and museums, and instead spent the entire week finding out more about the locality.
I can't recommend the apartment or the area highly enough. We loved it.
