I have stayed in Paris a few times, and was looking to experience Montmartre this time. I am so glad that I picked Montmartre adjacent instead. When you step out onto the street, and look right you are looking at Sacre Couer. It is spectacular on your walk home, but, in one mon th, I walked around Montmartre 9 times, and was glad I didn't have to walk up that hill every day. It's about 100 paces to the Pigalle metro which has two trains (2 and 12) so it's easy to get around. It's 120 paces to Montmartre. It's a 6 minute walk to Le Bon Boc (the oldest restaurant in Montmartre and a great place for Duck Confit). It's the same distance or less to a Picard (for awesome vegetables), Monop (the best souvenirs are candy from Monoprix). There's a great burger place next door, there's a place to buy water and perrier 2 stores away, the bakery, Le Petrin is very close, and you can get coffee at Halle Saint Pierre (Outsider Art Museum) for 2 euros and a 9 minute walk. Great location, nice to have the extra room (normally I get studios), bed was big enough for a 6"5" guy, internet never went out over 29 days, neighbors were nice and never had any noise problems, washing machine worked and was easy to use.
