Martine's apartment is simply a marvellous gem in the heart of Montmartre, Paris. It was immaculate with all the amenities needed for a wonderful stay. It truly felt like a home away from home for four days.
Martine greeted us outside the flat after a short (10 mins) walk from Gare du Nord and was ever so gracious in the face of my halting French. She took us up in the (tiny but elegant) lift to the 7th floor and, oh my, what a view! One word: breathtaking! Both the Eiffel Tower and Sacre Coeur could be seen from the terraces. After showing us around the flat and giving us various instructions (heating, stove, oven etc.), Martine left us to it.
Over the course of a few days, the apartment proved to be a perfect place for our stay in Paris. Having a kitchen allowed us to take advantage of a wonderful boulangerie/patisserie around the corner for breakfast each morning, and we relaxed every evening in the comfort of the personally-decorated living room. The wifi is very fast, the shower is powerful and hot, and the bed is very comfortable. I would sincerely recommend this flat to absolutely everyone!
Neighbourhood restaurants that we loved: Table D'Anvers and Le Relais Gascon. Both delicious at very different price points!
Martine: merci pour votre hospitalité. Votre apartement est fantastique et nous avons adoré notre séjour là-bas. Nous aimerions y retourner!
