The apartment was in a great spot being further out than the tourist areas. There were plenty of places to buy bread, cheese etc and a lot of restaurants as well. Easy walking distance to the metro and to Montmarte district. The apartment was super warm we had to turn down the heating and had everything we needed. Sylvains friend that greeted us at the apartment was lovely and very helpful with local knowledge. The apartment is small but decorated nicely and we left at breakfast time and didn't come back until the evening so it was perfect.
