We consider ourselves very lucky to have stayed here. So close to Montmartre, without having to stay there. So close to many good restaurants, without being ripped off. So close to interesting life, a good mix of all sorts. So easy to get around using the buses and/or metro (we found it best to buy a 'carnet' of 10 tickets rather than a 3 or 5 day pass). We had a lovely few days around Paris and wish you the same; each day busy, and so nice to come 'home' to Julia's flat where there was a sense of space, a sense of comfort, and a sense of relaxation.
