I had a fantastic time in Simon's apartment. The view is incredible, being on the fifth floor up on the hill, and with the windows open I had a lovely summer breeze throughout the day and night. The apartment was spotless, and extremely comfortable, with beautiful furniture and walls lined with books. The bathroom was very clean, with a great shower. The bed was super comfortable, and the kitchen convenient and once again, very clean.

Montmartre is a pretty bustling area, with lots of bars and cafes. As the apartment is so high up, the noise isn't so bad, and it just makes it feel all the more like you're in Paris.

Simon made sure I had all the details I needed for food and drinks, and gave me useful tips for the best breakfast. He is a delightful host, and having been prompt and friendly with his communications leading up to my visit, he made me feel extremely welcome in his home. I only had 2 nights to spend in Paris, but at the end of my second day I was very sad to be leaving.
