Want to experience the real Paris? - then go stay at Elisabeth's place. A truly charming top floor apartment in Montmartre - Pigalle area of northern Paris 15 mins walk from Gare du Nord. Situated on the Rue Des Martyrs it is a short walk to 2 metro stations and within 20 mins walk to the likes of Opera and the Galleries Layfatte. 10 mins in the other direction to the Sacre Couer. The apartment has a quirky layout (I liked) and is simply beautiful, with light pouring through the French windows in both directions. Its has a lovely balcony to sit and have coffee and croissants from the several excellent local bakeries. A wonderful place to relax and chill out after a busy day touring and shopping in Paris. Also for such a centrally located place it is very quiet at night. You will feel very safe there. Elizabeth is a charming host and gave us all relevant information on the functions and feature of the flat and local area including what to avoid. We will treasure this place as a memorable addition to our Paris trip. Go and go quick before Elizabeth and her husband ever decide to keep the apartment all to them themselves
