Pigalle is Pigalle, lively and sometimes noisy, but this apartment is a real oasis. The fact that it looks over a lovely garden is a real plus. It is clean, well laid out, well equipped and feels safe and comfortable. There are good local shops for basics, and in only a few minutes’ walk you can be on Rue des Martyrs which is full of fabulous food shops. The Metro is close, but it’s also worth checking the bus routes. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it.
