Delightful apartment situated at the foot of Sacre Coeur (view obstructed by tree) with easy access from Eurostar/Gare du Nord via several Metro stations. Large living area with excellently supplied kitchen (includes dishwasher and laundry). If you like to cook, bring along a favorite knife or two. The beds were very comfortable including the sofa bed. At times there can be noise from tourists on the streets or from the late night shops, so be sure to include earplugs in your kit.
Neighborhood has grocery stores, restaurants, tourist shops and a fair number of "friendship bracelet" scammers tormenting passerbys - nothing to fear, just be aware. Walk to nearby Buttes Montmartre for additional variety of shops and less tourists.
Hint: Abbesses is under contruction so use Anvers in 2017. Magdalena provided great directions to the apartment. She also makes current tourist info upon arrival, including Metro and bus maps.
