I particularly loved this Airbnb -- location is fantastic. The Pigalle metro is 1 block away and the bus is easy. Rue des Martyrs is a fanstasic street and in a lively, cosmopolitan area for locals yet so close to tourist attractions. We tended to walk to many places, though, like the Opera / Louvre district. We also appreciated all the artistic touches in the apartment, the fabulous views of Montmartre (better than the pics) and the treat of being able to see the Eiffel Tower lit up at night in the distance. Jose and family's Airbnb is a traditional rental where the family lives here when it's not being rented. There were family touches around but we didn't feel like we were 'intruding'. It was a warm and welcoming place. I am fortunate to come to Paris frequently but this time I brought friends. I tend to move around the city for my rental apartments and this time was in the Marais, the 5th, and here. Each has its own charm but my friends all said that this location was their favourite. A final important note: the apartment has double windows that kept the place quiet which is a must for me. I slept well and though I had earplugs, I didn't need them. I know i will return!
