We stayed at Cecile’s apartment for a few days last year, and our decision to return to Paris for vacation this year and stay for over a week was definitely helped knowing that we would have a wonderful place to stay in a gorgeous, storied neighborhood. The bathroom and kitchen are pristine, the water is always hot, and the laundry is one-touch easy-to-use and allowed us to travel with less luggage. Our host met us on arrival and entry into the building was easy. The children’s room is a treat with a piano, desk, toys, and a comfortable bed in a room that helped our 6 year old feel at home and relaxed. The neighborhood is very walkable though I suggest arriving at Metro Pigalle or by taxi if you have a lot of luggage. There are several boulangeries, fromageries, small markets and supermarkets nearby, as well as an overwhelming number of cafes, brasseries, bistros and ready made food. If you are looking to explore Montmartre and the surrounding area, this is the ideal place.
