We arrived in Paris just before New Year and found ourselves in a measly hotel which was gloriously advertised on Internet. Our holiday was in danger of becoming why? Why?

Then I had the idea to book an apartment but I was very much afraid what was behind the interrnet photos!! Then I started corresponding with the host Alexander and he was very reassuring, he even allowed us to look at the ape enemy first prior to booking. We fell in love with the place: it is Monmartre at its best!

A very nice bel epoque apartment two spacious bedrooms, very neat kitchen and bathroom with modern amenities! All the furniture is original Art Deco pieces! View is great, and you do not see an opposite appartment I front but the Scre Ceur Church in the distance.

I am obsessed with good internet connection so I asked many times before how good it was. The owner reassured as normal but a was tricked many times before and I was understandably apprehensive. When I did the test on my computer I was shocked! The speed was astounding, uninterrupted outpouring of Internet !!! What a relief from the "glitzy" hotel we were in where we had an awful service.

Step outside and you are in the midst of France at its best - small cafes, smal shops, even a functioning wind mill from the 19 century (not Moulin Rouge) which is not far way but a real one!
