Jeanne’s tiny place is situated on a bustling side street in an interesting area of Montmartre, off the beaten tourist track. There is a bakery steps away, a pizza/bar downstairs, local wine shops, a fruit and veg stands and even a full blown grocery store only 10 min walk away. It is truly an experience in the ‘heart’ of Paris. We stayed for five nights and really loved the area. It is also conveniently close to two metro stops. Large windows let in lots of light, and air if you need it. Jeanne’s apartment is on the 6th floor (5 in french terms), so be prepared to burn those buns :-)
The place is small, but fully equipped (even with washing machine). It has a fantastic shower, but a small shower stall (so not a great fit for the large, fyi). It’s cluttered with interesting books and objects, and you need to be comfortable living out of a suitcase, as there is no place to hang up your clothes (nor hangers). That said, it is entirely manageable, but not for the especially particular traveller.
