Amazing and convenient apartment
We rented this apartment from Eyal initially for its proximity to the apartment of one of our family. It turned out to be a great experience. I am happy to enthusiastically endorse both the apartment and the host.
About the location
The apartment is located in a well-maintained 100-year-old building at the edge of Montmartre – Paris’s artistic district. It is a 10-minute walk to the famed Sacre Coeur. The location is right within stone's throw of supermarkets, Bunalgerie’s (bakery), and café’s. Within a 10 min walk is Jules Joffrin, with access to the #12 Metro, and roughly the same distance is Simplon with access to the #4 metro. The center of Paris - Cite is 20 min by train, with a direct line through either of these metros. The area is very safe and quiet at night.
About the apartment
The apartment is 2 bedrooms. Well maintained and artfully decorated. The Parisian windows ensure that there is ample light. It is well stocked with essential conveniences such as laundry (essential as it allowed us to travel with just hand luggage), a juicer (a novelty for us Americans), and a Nespresso machine. There are two clean work desks – which was useful for us as we were working in the evenings. Both bedrooms are some distance apart. So, when all three of us were on calls the noise level was low. There are only two power outlets available for use. So it may be useful to bring a powerstrip. We carried our own power strip and an international converter.
About the host
Eyal is a great host. He contacted me immediately upon booking to apologize for not being available in person to greet us, as he would be traveling the week we were visiting. He was also transparent about what was lacking in his apartment – all of which was a non-issue for us. Throughout the stay, he was very communicative – checking in on our comfort as well as answering questions. On the final day, he met us in person with pastries and to exchange contact information.
Overall
A great stay and a great apartment. We hope to come back again soon.
