My husband and I LOVED our stay at Simon's place. The apartment looks exactly as pictured and the view is just incredible. We loved waking up and going to bed with a view of the Eiffel tower. The location is really great! Easy to travel into the center of Paris by metro (usually a 15-30 min metro) and the neighborhood is so neat. Montmarte is full of artistic inspiration and history. The apartment is situated on a perfect cobblestone alley (near Vincent van Gogh's house!) - you really feel like you're getting the Paris experience. Plus, we were pleasantly surprised to find that we were very close to amazing bakeries and restaurants (and one of the best creperies in town!). The neighborhood always felt lively and safe - which we appreciated. Yes, the apartment is located on the top floor and there are quite a few staircases to climb but, we always welcomed the exercise after eating our way through the city - we needed it! The living room and bedroom have large windows that provided a wonderful fresh breeze. We loved enjoying a glass of wine while looking at the Eiffel tower. The place is nicely decorated with art and the floor to ceiling book shelves filled with books were so neat to peruse. Bed was super comfy. Shower was large and had great water pressure. My husband enjoyed the Nespresso machine.
Simon was also a very generous host. When our flight was early, he let us check-in much earlier than anticipated and he provided some of the best restaurant recommendations we had on our trip, including an Italian restaurant just a 3 minute walk from the apartment.
We feel like we totally lucked out and would definitely stay here again!
