This is a tremendous value!! Very well located in Montmartre, the place where Picasso and Van Gogh lived for much of their time in Paris. Van Gogh's apartment is very close by this location. As other reviews have noted, this is a hotel, not a private residence. That said, I read the reviews and therefore was not surprised by that. It has an elevator and is overall very clean. The staff were in all but one instance incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was perfectly good for sleeping and also had a desk, which was convenient as I had to work while I was on vacation. The hotel is located within walking distance to the Sacre Coeur Basilica and there are a ton of good restaurants and bars all within short walking distance. There is even a lovely fruit and vegetable grocer two blocks away where I could get my daily fruit of green apple and figs. Similarly, a great cheese place and several bakeries. It is three blocks (give or take) from the #14 Metro station and the Concorde, Louvre etc are all about 30 min away by metro. The only negative about this place is that the walls are very thin, but I did not have a problem as most guests were very quiet after about 11pm. Bottom line, this is a super value and I would stay here again.
