We stayed for 8 nights at Montmarte-Belleville. Our host met me upon arrival and took me through everything in the apartment. I was happy with everything because it was as pictured and stated in the posting. Ismail showed me how to operate the tv. I did not pay close attention because I don't watch tv much. When my husband joined me I tried to show him how to work it, and could t figure it out. When I told Ismail, he came over that day and fixed the problem. I had one surprise and that was the bed. It seemed a bit hard when I first sat on it. I realized that it was a futon, not a conventional mattress. No worries though because I sleep great on it.
I have been telling all my friends that there is not a better location for staying in Paris. Across the street from the Abbesses metro stop, and the metro takes you everywhere you want to go. In my neighborhood I had everything I needed to be comfortable, including a yogurt shop and an award winning boulangerie. And great shopping all around. I did more shopping here than in the Marais. Lastly, time sitting out on the balcony bookended my daily adventures around the city. I loved saying goodnight to Sacre-coeur shining brightly in the night. And good morning to all of Paris out the kitchen window in the morning. Would stay here again!
