I had a wonderful long-term stay in this apartment. The apartment is high up and gets lots of light and best of all, there is a modern elevator to get up there! I love the view of the Sacre Coeur. The apartment is spatious and well maintained. I loved that it was not cluttered with a lot of the owner's things. The location is awesome - I can walk to so many things - easy metro connnections on multilple lines, lovely outside retreats (Buttes Chaumont Park, the Canal area), a lovely indoor pool and ice skating rink, shopping (including regular and organic grocery stores, clothing and shoes, Office Depot, books, cafes, chocolate shops, butchers, bakeries, etc. It is also a short metro ride to the La Villette area with the Science Center with a brand new upscale mall next door, the Paris Philharmonic, and fun activities for kids. Finally, the other residents in the building are friendly and considerate of their neighbors.
