Very clean and bright apartment right in the middle of Abbesses-great base for exploring Paris and to immerse yourself into local cafe and restaurant culture - too many cafes to choose a favourite, just throw yourself in and explore, English widely spoken in the neighbourhood . Nearby Metro underground is even easier to navigate than London. Just be a little careful with stairs down to the bedroom as they are steep and not suitable if you have mobility issue. Great communication from owner who arranged for maid to welcome us as we arrived after 1800 hours. Cheers Paul from Australia!
