The apartment is small but perfectly formed. The welcome and check in (and subsequent check out a few days later) were fantastic, with a warm welcome, great directions for things to go to, restaurants and amenities in the area. The patisserie across the road does fantastic croissants for breakfast and sitting at the table having breakfast with the view over Paris and the life on the streets just below you is a great experience.
We understand the apartment is about to be freshened up with the futon in the living room upgraded which will make this a great place to go with our son. That said there is not a lot of space for luggage and clothes. The neighbours can be heard at different times (early morning when they get up and then they use their bathroom as the down pipe is through this apartment. This was never intrusive or a problem and part of the ‘charm’ of being in a really old building. The ambiance of the building is charming, clean, fresh with modern nicely overlaid over the old structure.
The position of the apartment is fantastic, giving access to all of Paris. Montmatre village is on your doorstep with a 4 minute up hill walk and the rest of Paris is at your feet. Uber worked well and a privately arranged meet and greet at the airport delivered us safely to the apartment in 45 minutes. The same back ensured departure was smooth and easy.
All in all a great little place to stay. We will be looking to book it again when we are next in Paris.
