Gaspard's apartment is a little gem in a very quiet and exceptionally well renovated courtyard building located just a few blocks south of the Moulin Rouge and Montmartre, in heart of a traditional 'quartier' that made us feel like we were walking 'home' rather than staying in a touristy neighborhood. The immediate neighboring streets alone (like the trendy rue des Martyrs and the more understated rue Henri Monier) offer a wonderful array of one of a kind merchants and restaurants. A few metro stations nearby connect to various lines, not to mention convenient bus lines like #30 that will take you straight from Pigalle to the Eiffel tower via the Arc de Triomphe.
Both the building and the unit are designed in a 'boutique hotel' style, with added comfort of as a great mattress, new plumbing and electrical, as well as A/C and remote controlled blackouts for the skylights to name a few. Large windows and skylights make for a very bright apartment during the day. All in all, staying in this apartment was a real treat.
