Although we didn't meet Laurence and Giuliano, they did make arrangements for us to be greeted and checked in by one of their friends (who was very helpful as well) , the flat could not be situated in a more convenient location, we managed to see all attractions and then some on our planned list during our stay.
The area of Abbesses is very vibrant and lively at all times with a very Parisian atmosphere, people playing music across the street in front of the Metro entrance, many bakeries, charcuteries, general stores and amazing restaurants. Just up the hill from Pigalle and the busy and Boulevard de Cliché (Moulin Rough down the way), the Metro lines are very accessible and we were very satisfied with the convenience. The beautiful Sacred Heart (Sacre Coeur) Basilica is just up the hill with another amazing view of the entire city.
The flat itself is very cosy, functional, clean, for the warmer summer nights, a fan was provided and much appreciated. The shared courtyard is very quaint and overall (as with the flat) very quiet and beautiful. The photos depict exactly how the flat is.
The next time we visit Paris, I will definitely try to rebook this location, there were no issues whatsoever with this flat. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants the real Paris experience.
