The accommodations at Abbesses were exactly as described. While I was by myself this visit, the place is perfect for two. While there really isn't room for much lounge space, just a chair, a desk and a kitchen table, the well-designed space fulfills are the requirements for a week-long visit. Theses are the highlights. Communication: excellent. Greeter: Melina was charming. Very helpful. I got the impression if I needed to contact her for anything, it would have been her pleasure to help. Instructions: very clear. Location: The best. Many good restaurants and shops within a short stroll. Metro at Abbesses so close you can see it from the door. Pigalle metro (with 2 lines), a short downhill walk for more connections. TV: probably a hundred channels with about 8 in English. Wifi: Strong connection. Bathroom: Small but modern. Lots of hot water. Good pressure. Kitchen: Well-stocked. HOB, microwave, fridge and Nespresso machine. Bed: Comfortable. Other things: I did not use the courtyard space, but it was nice to look out upon. Others mentioned the noise from the Metro. This was not a problem. I probably would not have noticed if it had not been mentioned. Being in a city of millions of people, the apartment was remarkably tranquil and quiet.
