The location is ideal for exploring Montmartre -- close enough to the major sites, like Sacré Coeur, but not flooded with tourists. The apartment has all the basic amenities you will need. Vladimir was very responsive and gave clear, detailed instructions on everything I needed to know. The only downside (which may be quite typical in Paris) is that you have to walk up seven flights of stairs, and the bathroom is tiny (again, pretty standard for Paris flats). The neighborhood is quite lively, but with the windows closed, you hardly hear any street noise, and the view of Paris from the balconies is pretty stunning. I happened to leave on Bastille Day, so I had a great view of all the fireworks displays in the surrounding areas.
