Françoise’s apartment was lovely! The check-in process, led by her local friend, Didier, was friendly and easy. The unit itself was very clean, tastefully decorated and appointed with everything we needed. The bed was quite comfortable, too.
The proximity to the Pigalle Metro station was particularly helpful. It’s a great spot to access the train to get most anywhere in the city directly or with only one transfer.
Just a few considerations, particularly for American travelers:
— There is no elevator. It’s a three-story walk up narrow, steep stairs. Be prepared for that.
— The toilet is in a separate room that is quite small. Fortunately, the shower and shower room is adequately sized.
— Due to the location in the heart of Pigalle/Abbesses, there’s a fair bit of street noise, especially with windows open.
In short, I’d stay here again. (I’d just bring earplugs.)
