We had a great time in Charles flat! One adult and one ten year old. The neighborhood was a nice experience. Walking up Passage Cottin just around the corner takes you right up the stairs to Sacré-Coeurand a great touristy walk through Montmartre. And if you want to get the feel of the more everyday Paris you can walk down to the Metrostation Chateau Rouge and some great shops and cafes. Charles had left some great tips for good cafes and restaurants of which we tried a few, very much to our liking. Victor, his brother welcomed us and was very friendly and accomodating. I thoroughly recommend this apartment and host.
