The apartment is beautiful and the photos are very accurate. Montmartre is right outside the front door for exploring, dining, shopping and just walking through the streets. There is a grocery store on the corner, several cafes and a Starbucks and a health food store down the street. Jose is a great and accommodating host and was available when I had questions. The family has made a booklet that is complete and helpful with information about the apartment and tips on what to see and do in Paris. A wonderful place to stay and one I would absolutely recommend.
