We had a wonderful stay in François' apartments in Abbesses. The places were clean and spacious enough. Getting in at different times was easy thanks to the key box system. Communication with François was great; he speaks good English and comes across as friendly. The neighborhood is nice, with quaint Montmartre streets and the Abbesses subway station nearby. Stroll into Pigalle to find bars and night clubs. Reach the Seine (Jardin des Tuileries, Louvre and Mosée d'Orsay) in about 30 minutes walking. You can also find Vélib bikes in the area. All in all, we had a pleasant stay with 7 people!
