Montmartre is a cool place to stay. Feels more like a village, many cute bistros and shops but very convenient to everything given the proximity of the subway and other public transportation methods.
While this newly renovated flat was spacious and well located, the value is low for the price. For two main reasons, the noise and the lack of thoughtful details in the home.
The flat is on the first floor and though the neighborhood is residential, it was quite noisy. The apartment building is right at a bend in the road and at the top of stairs up from the subway and what seemed to be near a school. Many people would hang out on the bench right next to the windows, playing loud music, etc. For a family staying in the flat, after long days out in Paris, the noise made it very difficult to sleep at night. During the week, it rarely quieted down before midnight and on the weekend not until after 2am.
The second reason was the thoughtful details. Again, for a full flat at these prices, for a multi-day family stay, the details matter. It is not a small flat, yet there was no place to hang clothes (e.g. no armoire or closet), only one dresser that was mostly filled with a random assortment of tools, and no drying rack for clothes from the washing machine. And, no extra blankets or extra pillows despite the front room having an extra bed.
Obviously, in a cheap place, not a big deal or for one night or so, not a big deal. And this is an AirBnB run by a host management company so would have expected they would have thought through these details as well.
We had an overall fabulous time in Paris and enjoyed staying in this neighborhood. We hope the host management firm takes the feedback to heart.
