Le Nid is a fantastic place, near everything and just beautifully done by Tristan, who is amazing! His work can be seen all throughout Paris. Le Nid is exactly as Ysabell describes it. You also hear bells from the nearby church. There is so much light because the windows (which open,) are from floor to ceiling.)
Do not let the Pigalle area scare you. You're on a beautiful block in Montmartre. Yes, you are close to the Moulin Rouge, etc., as well as the Dali museum. You can walk to the Sacre Coeur, to everywhere, and climb as many steps as you wish. You're near 2 metros, but you can be at the Paris Opera or at L'Orangerie by walking, if you enjoy a lovely, probably 45 min to 1-hour walk.
You're 15 minutes from Le Cimitiere Montmartre, where Zola and Berlioz are buried. I even walked to Pere Lachaise!
At Le Nid, cobblestone streets greet you, as does a Sunday flea market. Outdoor brasseries abound, as well as cheese shops and boulangeries. There are also excellent Vietnamese and Thai restaurants.
I cannot say enough about the amazing apartment, with all modern amenities, the availability of Ysabell as the host. and just the unique and wonderful feel of it all. I know we will be back.
Merci bien, Ysabell and Tristan.
