This apartment would fit my idea of a “typical” Paris apartment. Nice windows, compact layout, and well-kept. Cecile was wonderful with communication and very helpful with tips and recommendations.
This area is outside of Montmartre and in an area of town not suited for our family. If you are an experienced European traveller who is very savvy about pickpockets (which we thought we were but they are extremely aggressive), this could be a good option for you. However, if you have a distraction such as travelling with children or have little experience with pickpocketing, I would not be able to recommend this area.
Cecile & Simon were wonderful hosts and this review should not be seen as a reflection of them. Our experience had nothing to do with their apartment (other than the location).
