Fantastic home base to explore Paris, and privacy when you need some down time. We (mom, dad, 13yo son, 11yo daughter, and grandmother) spent a lovely week here, and had more than enough space to spread out and be comfortable. Easy walk to two Metro stations for transport anywhere, uphill walk through touristy and then charming neighborhood streets to the Sacre Coeur Bascilica and heart of Montmartre. Fun market in the boulevard on Sunday mornings, and enough removed from street noise that being on a main road was never a problem with windows open to the courtyard side. We loved our week in Isabelle's sunny and cheerful apartment!
