This tiny Montmartre apartment is small in proportion (like so many Paris apartments), but full of charm, clean and bright, and miraculously fitted with all the amenities that you need including a heater as well as a good hot shower and reasonably fast wifi. The two windows are the highlight with classic views of rooftops and chimney pots, and the famous Sacre-Coeur Basilica can be seen through the larger window in the lounge area.
Located in the garret of the building five flights from street level, the noise from the busy tourist filled street of nearby Place de Tertre is very muted even with the windows open.
The apartment is only five minutes away from the Sacre-Coer and so is situated at one of the highest points in Paris making it both a wonderful place to watch the sun rise and set over Paris, but unless travelling by car, also accessible only by numerous flights of steps, or the furnicular. So if you are unfit beware!
Rue Abbesses and Rue Le Pic (just seven minutes walk from the aoartment) is one of the best places in Paris to experience high quality restaurants that even locals frequent and well as amazing fresh produce, like the best strawberries ever! My fellow Australians will be pleased to know that a lovely cafe (Cafe Genovese) run by an Australian couple is only six minutes away, and of course serves the most amazing coffee!
It is a great place to stay if you are new to Paris and want to stay in a historic precinct where it is impossible to take a bad photo, and is well connected to public transport.
Highly recommended!
The hosts are also wonderful (thank you Alvaro), helping me carry my heavy suitcase up and down the stairs, checking in to make sure I was okay and coming in person at check-out.
