My boyfriend and I spent 3 nights here this December, this apartment is the perfect way to experience romantic Paris. The location is excellent, right at the foot of the Sacre Coeur, a few steps from several cafes, bars and a convience store.
Franck's place provides everything you will need: linen, towels, fridge freezer, small stove, kettle, board games and a piano! The eccentric apartment is an unforgetable experience, beautifully furnished and laid out with such an artistic eye.
The flat was superbly clean, the toilet is situated upstairs and the bath is downstairs within the main apartment. The apartment is sub-street level so can be chilly at first, but there is a electric radiator and fan heater so the place soon warms up and is very cosy. Access to the flat is via a hatch and steep staircase, so not ideal for any special mobility needs.
The metro Chateux Rouge serves the apartment well, lines 2 and 4 take you right across the city and is only two stops from Gare du Nord. As the apartment is high up in the quiet end of Monmatre the area feels safe and you can enjoy walking around at night.
Franck was unable to meet us, but his attendant Mustafa was waiting for us at the flat when we arrived and gave us our keys with no problems. Franck was very flexible with check-in and check-out, we sent him our train times and were able to arrive early Friday evening and stay at the flat until our train left late on the Monday.
Overall, an excellent first Air BnB experience, and we would love to go back as soon as possible!
