Brigitte was a great host. Warm. Organized. Helpful.
The place is located at the foot of Montmartre, in Pigalle, with remnants of its colorful past aside its current hipsterish tendencies. It’s a magnificently different area than the “monumental Paris” of the central arrondissements. Great local shops close by for breads, viennoiseries, cheese, and much more.
The apartment was comfortable, with a good desk for working and a great terrace. The main room has light from three sides.
I had a great time in the nearly two months I spent there.
