We are just back from our trip to Paris staying in Muriel’s lovely apartment. It is exactly as shown in the pictures; cosy, comfy, well equipped and with a beautiful outlook onto the rooftops of the building around the courtyard side. We know the area quite well from previous visits, so the opportunity to stay in and properly explore it as our own neighbourhood was too good to pass up.
The Rue des Martyrs and the streets nearby are full of fabulous shops, cafes and restaurants. It’s an easy walk down the hill towards the tourist attractions in the centre of Paris or up to Montmartre. Pigalle Metro is nearby, as well as the buses around Place Pigalle. As much as we love the Paris Metro for efficiency, if you have time to spare you can see much more by taking the bus. We especially loved the little Montmartrobus that scoots around the smaller streets; that one was a new experience for us!
Muriel was a great host. We had some issues coming in from the airport so arrived a bit later than planned, but Muriel contacted us to check we were ok and waited at the apartment to welcome us and show us around. She checked in with us from time to time and made sure we knew we could contact her if we needed anything.
Muriel, thank you so much for letting us stay in your adorable apartment so we could pretend to be Parisians for a few days. We very much hope we will be able to do so again. Same time next year peut etre?! 😊
