We stayed at Maries’s apartment in Montmartre for three nights in September 2019.
The good:
* Location is excellent right below the steps leading up to Painters Square. If you love to be in Montmartre this is at the heart of it. Be reminded that it is a high location and you will always be climbing or descending a steep hill.
* The apartment is clean and has a nice little kitchenette.
* The WiFi is excellent and a smart tv is provided.
* Excellent hot water and water pressure.
Room for improvement:
* Calling the apartment “Luxury” (as it is currently titled in the listing ) is taking way too much creative license.
Here’s the things I wouldn’t expect in a Luxury apartment:
* This is a street level apartment. It is a converted office or retail store with two doors leading to the outside sealed shut. Cars, trash trucks and the public bus all pass by about 4.5 meters from your bedroom.
* There is very little natural light. There is only one window that can be opened which is not practical as pedestrians will be passing right by. The only natural light is a bit from the glass up top on the doors that have been sealed shut.
* One bedroom is a passageway from the outside hall into the main apartment.
* One bedroom is made of glass walls and privacy comes in the form of blinds that roll down.
* For my husband and I the sofa bed was the most comfortable choice. Our guests had a hard time sleeping in the regular bed because they felt it was too firm. We slept in a regular bed one night and found the sofa bed to be more comfortable for us.
* The bathroom was fine but tiny as most Paris apartments have. The shower was quite narrow and I had to stand sideways so my elbows wouldn’t knock against the tile and glass door as I shampooed my hair. The shower could benefit from a shelf to rest soap and shampoo. Adequate but not luxury in any way.
I would possibly stay here again for the location knowing its most suitable for just my husband and I using the sofa bed with a price that reflected 2 people. We are not light sleepers so the noise didn’t wake us but it would certainly awake light to medium sleepers. It was more of a slight nuisance when we were already awake.
I hope these comments are are helpful to others looking to rent here.
