This is a really lovely apartment in a great location - handy for the Metro at Chateau Rouge and just a short uphill walk from Sacre Coeur. It's comfortable and fully equipped with everything you'll need for a relaxing time in Paris, and Charles the host provided us with plenty of useful recommendations for places to go in the local area. It's really excellent value for money.

One of the really good things about the location is that you don't feel you're overlooked by anyone else so it's quite private. We found the neighbours friendly and there are loads of places to get food - even an artisan cheese shop at the end of the road and a florist around the corner. You really couldn't ask for more.

The apartment is clean and tidy, and Charles had left us some welcome gifts which were a really nice touch. You feel like you're really staying in someone else's house which makes for a really relaxing stay.

When we stayed, it was really hot - about 30 degrees - and we had to sleep with the windows open. This wasn't a problem for us and we felt a really good breeze coming through. Some guests might find the neighbourhood a little noisy at times like this, but it was OK for us.
