Pierre's place was exactly what we were looking for-just big enough for two people, cutely decorated, close to the metro, walking distance from food, and not in a super touristy location. The neighborhood is very pleasant and French. Every morning we would go to the same coffee shop down the street on the way to the metro, where it was quiet and we were the only tourists inside no doubt. There are some grocery stores close by so that was nice, too. And of course bakeries and cafés. We also enjoyed Pierre's CD and movie collection; he has a wide range of genres in French and English. If I had one complaint about the place, it would be that the shower was very small and the water was cold for half of it, but unless you're over 6 ft you'd be fine. It didn't bother us much, just a minor thing. Lastly, it was great to be so close to the Sacré Couer. Barely a two minute walk, and you're above the city. Overall a great value for your money and I would totally recommend staying here!
