Paul’s place exceeded all expectations. An easy walk from Gare du Nord, no hassle to find, easy check in.
The view there is absolutely unparalleled. I lived in Paris for years and never had such a great view. A broad scope over the whole city including rooftops, tour Montparnasse and the Eiffel Tower. From the bedroom window you have a view of the sacré cœur.
Paul’s house is impeccably clean and minimal yet providing all the basics. The bed is very comfortable oh! and there is an elevator to take you to the 7th Floor which I’ve learned not to take for granted in Paris.
Paul himself was very kind and quick to respond to all messages and even helped us out with a last minute situation we had.
Also you can rest assured that you are indeed staying in a real persons home, not some real estate mogul who is gentrifying the neighborhood.
Neighborhood couldn’t be better, you’re literally at the foot of the sacré cœur. Plenty of options for touristy fun or a real local experience in the area as Montmartre is still very much both. Very close to all methods of transport.
I hope to have the pleasure of staying here every time I return to Paris.
