My husband and I spent 9 days in Chloe's apartment for our honeymoon, and it was perfect. The location was amazing - just two blocks from the Pigalle metro stop and down a small hill from the Abesses neighborhood, which was beautiful with great shopping and cafes. The tiny street is so quaint and very, very quiet--even though it is off of a huge main street. The neighborhood can seem seedy (lots of sex shops) but was really quite harmless. It feels more like South Street in Philly - always packed and safe at night because it is so busy. We never felt uncomfortable. It was an easy walk to the Sacre Coeur and around Montmartre, which was our favorite neighborhood in Paris. If you visit, don't miss a dinner at Chez Toinette (one street over on Rue Germain Pillon) and a pastry at Pain Pain on Rue de Martyrs.

For the apartment itself, it was gorgeous and felt large even though it was a studio. Chloe has it well decorated and has a huge collection of books and DVDs that made it feel like home. Many of the AirBNB apartments we looked at felt very bare - this one really felt lived in and let us pretend for a short while that we were really living in Paris. The wifi was great and spotless. The kitchen is a great size, though I'm afraid we barely used it--too many good restaurants nearby. The bed was very comfortable, and large enough that my six-foot husband did not feel cramped. We stayed in September, when the days were still warm enough to open the windows onto the very cute courtyard and get a visit from the neighbor's cats! We really loved the atmosphere and it was such a haven to come home to at night.

The toilet is separate from the shower/sink area, which was super convenient. The room with the toilet is pretty tiny, and the shower/sink room definitely only fits one at a time. But the shower is actually very spacious, and the sink had a large cabinet that allowed us to unpack all of our toiletries and not feel like we were living out of a suitcase. The towel warmer was so nice, we couldn't believe they aren't standard in the U.S.

Chloe met us at the apartment, gave us a map of the neighborhood, and was available if we needed her for anything (though we didn't). She speaks English, which was fantastic because our French was incredibly rusty. She was a fantastic host, and I would highly recommend booking with her!
