Sylvie was at the apt. waiting for us but unfortunately the taxi driver misread the address and took us about 45 minutes out of our way. Sylvie was pressed for time when we finally arrived but luckily a friend who was going to give us a tour and manages other Airbnb properties was there waiting for us and was able to give us the tour of the apt when Sylvie had to leave. Certainly not Sylvie's fault at all, just how it goes sometimes. She was attentive via email and text messages during our stay, making sure everything was alright.

The apartment was fantastic. It was filled with books, paintings, sculptures and knick knacks that screamed Paris. Everything worked well just make sure you know how to run the appliances since all the instructions on the buttons are in French.

The building has a great central courtyard and is on an incredible street filled with cafes and shops. It's just a few blocks from the Metro, very convenient to central Paris and especially to Montmartre area.

It's not a touristy area at all, it will make you feel like you are living in Paris, not touring it. There are pharmacies, print/copy shops and other day to day needs type shops nearby on Blvd Clichy and Blvd Batignolles.

You are walking distance from Moulin Rouge (not very impressive, at least during the day) and Sacre Couer Cathedral (VERY impressive and worth climbing the hill and stairs, trust me!)
