We travel to Paris fairly often but hadn't spent a lot of time around Montmartre / Porte de Clingancourt before. We're glad we did - this area has a character all of its own, all hustle and bustle with a distinct North African flavour. The appartement also has a very distinctive feel, so much so that your vacances a Paris experience is only enhanced when you get back after a long day in the bars and cafes.
