Even 'though Stephanie's place was exactly as she describes, our stay still managed to be way better than we expected! It was just so unbelievable to have such lovely calm space inside and outside so close to such hectic areas of Paris. The trees and the courtyard give a wonderful sense of seclusion and calm and yet out one gate, a colourful noisy street market greets the senses and out the other, one is minutes from wonderful restaurants, brasseries, cafes and of course, the tourist chaos of Montmartre and the Sacre Coeur. The apartment has lovely height and light and is excellently equipped and spotlessly clean. It gives a wonderful sense of how creative, thoughtful, disciplined and contented Stephanie and her family must be. We came away so happy
