Stéphane was a fantastic host, replying almost immediately to e mails, he was there to show us around and talk us through how things worked. The apartment was just as seen in the pictures, spotlessly clean and very well equipped, the washing machine was a god send! It is on a busy road but you really don't hear it when the windows are closed and it could not have been more central. The stairs to the first floor were interesting with luggage but Stéphane helped and it wasn't to difficult. There is a supermarket across the road and a second one about 8 min walk( turn R out of the apartment and keep walking) which was much better stocked but to be honest we didn't do much cooking the local bars and cafes were so good.
I can recommend Joe Alan's, steaks/burgers, left out of the apartment on the next street down on the left, also Le Poulette, L out of the apartment and 1 minute away, lovely Art Deco tiles and great seasonal menu. If you are headed to the Sacre Coeur
Le Bon Bock in the Mont Martre does a fantastic traditional French fixed price lunch.
We walked everywhere only taking the metro on the way home when feet were too tired to walk anymore, we bought a 4 day museum pass and that got us into everywhere we wanted to see, can thoroughly recommend climbing up the Arc de triomphe, the view was fantastic, we probably enjoyed that more than the Eiffle tower, make sure you get to the tower early, the queues were long even in January!
Would definite stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a sightseeing holiday in central Paris.
Thanks Stéphane for a great stay.
