When you stay at Gabriel's apartment, you easily start to feel at home. It's very simple, nothing fancy, but it is very cozy and we loved all the french books at the toilet and the beautiful old elevator that played music at night. We were very delighted by the stunning look to Sacre Cæur from the bathroom and in general the neighbourhood around Butte Begeyre. It's very calm and french with cafes and small shops. The kitchen was very basic and could have been a bit cleaner, but it worked very well for preparing breakfast and coffee in the morning. There's also a supermarket close by and public transport is really good. We used the Bus 75 a lot to get into center, but the metro is also very close.
