Thank sophie. A very attentive host who is committed to ensuring you have a great time and enjoy her neighborhood. This is her own apartment and therefore is lived in and has all amenities. This was wonderful for our 2 boys (6 and 4) as their were some toys (lego and star wars Sabres etc) they could play with. The stairs are steep, 4 flights of circular wooden stairs- so if you have lots of luggage you may find this difficult. We are fit and it was not a problem. Some people will love the area, convenient to Pigalle and blanch metro, montmarte area etc however it was the red light district and some elements of this remain. Our taxi driver was worried for us dropping us here !!! However we found it fantastic and never felt unsafe.
