You know you've come to the right place in France when the first thing you find upon opening the kitchen drawer, is a corkscrew bottle opener! :-P What's nice about this place is that you also have a balcony with a wonderful view down to the Louvre, while also overlooking the restaurant downstairs. You too can be the envy of all those patrons, looking up at you from the cafe! ;-)

The flat comprises 3 rooms: the kitchen/diner/living area, a bedroom (which you immediately walk into from the stairwell), and the typical Parisian small bathroom tucked away in the back. Given that this is Paris, it's actually quite a roomy apartment.

I know Paris and the 18th quite well, so I can say quite confidently that location is about the best place you could be in Montmartre. A very nice place to stay for a long weekend trip. It can be a little bit noisy, and I did feel as though people could look in from the street (despite the flat being on the first floor), which made me feel a little self-conscious at times. So if you like peace and quiet and privacy, maybe this isn't the place for you.

However, when I come to Paris, what I really want to do is immerse myself in coffee/croissant/glass-of-wine cafe culture of the city. For that, I would choose this apartment again.

Also, I should add that our host was incredibly friendly, and flexible to work around our travel circumstance. We were allowed a very late check-out, which helped us out immensely, and saved us from having to carry around heavy suitcases to the lockers at GdN.

A little on the high side of our budget, but definitely worth the extra few €.
