A well equipped apartment that is full of character and in a perfect position to head out and explore Paris.
Our family of 6 stayed here at the end of a fantastic, and exhausting tour of France. Getting off the metro we immediately knew we had arrived in a lively, cosmopolitan city. (There are a lot of people who try and sell you cigarettes at the station, but they did not hassle us after we had made it clear we were not buying. The issues of poverty and homelessness that face all big cities is evident in this area).
The metro just outside is extremely convenient for trips to the main tourist spots, and having the Sacré Coeur and Montmartre so close is really wonderful. Whichever way we headed out from the apartment we came across interesting and quintessentially Parisian experiences.
The host was fantastic at getting back to us and was very accommodating.
I think our eldest child summed our experience up, when on stepping out into the noise, hustle and bustle said, ‘this is the real Paris’.
