Ulrich's place is a chic well maintained apartment perfect for a couple on vacation. We enjoyed the queen sized memory foam bed (a rarity in France) as well as the excellent newly remodeled kitchen amenities (complete with Nespresso machine - just like at home!). Ulrich was very helpful and accommodating - providing lighting quick responses to our questions, communicating clearly and easily, allowing for a very easy check in process and overall a really nice care free stay. The apartment itself is an excellent value with a short walk to two metro stations - Chateau Rouge (4 line) and Marx Dormoy (12 line) in addition to another short walk to Gare du Nord to hop on an outbound RER metro line to the airport. The location is a fairly easy walk to Sacre Coeur and Monmartre proper - we personally walked to the Hardware Societe twice for brunch! For all other attractions outside the 18th arrondissement you can expect about a 25-30 mintues walk/metro ride trip to get to just about any major attraction in Paris.
