Vanessa's place was fantastic! It's in a vibrant part of Paris (Montmartre is one of the coolest parts of the city), not too far from the Sacre Coeur and very close to restaurants, shopping and metro stops. The flat is lovely, bright and has everything one could need. The best part, however, is that it is courtyard facing and very quiet! I slept better there than I have in years (and unfortunately haven't slept as well since). Vanessa herself is friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend her place for a short or long stay in Paris and hope to go back someday!
