We had a wonderful experience staying in this Montmartre apartment. For one thing, the location was great--4 doors away from a fantastic bakery (Pain Pain), close to the metro (Pigalle or Abbesses--note that Abbesses does have an elevator but if you choose to walk up and down into this station, as we did, get ready for a real workout--a spiral stone stairway that just goes on and on), a short walk (including 304 steps up a staircase) to Sacré Coeur, close to many nice small restaurants (we had Indian--Shenaz, Vietnamese and Cambodian--Le Dan Bau and Le Cambodge Montmartre, and Italian food--Al Coryllis, all delicious) and shops (the Monoprix chain for groceries and cool clothes, right down near the Pigalle station, and many little boutiques with great clothes for sale, etc.). But more important, Anne is a great host and the apartment was lovely. The apartment is a loft but be aware that you go down, not up, a flight of stairs into it once you're through the apartment's front door (which is on the same level as the street door into the main building). This is confusing until you remember that Montmartre is a hill and that the apartment building is built on that hill. The apartment is spacious and was extremely clean. (Note that the Airbnb ad says smokers and pets are welcome--if you are not a smoker, you will be aware that smokers use the apartment, but we don't smoke and did not find this to be overwhelming at all.) The shower is awesome, your own private Victoria Falls. The bathtub is deep and tempting although we didn't end up finding time to use it. There is the full bathroom (huge, heated flooring, SO nice, with bath towels and hand towels provided, along with liquid soap and shampoo and a hair dryer) and a half-bath as well. The master bedroom with large bed is comfortable, lots of pillows to choose from and decent reading lights on each side (water bottle and glass provided on each side too!), and my kids were fine on the two twin beds in the other bedroom. There is a fan in each bedroom, and electrical outlets are plentiful and convenient throughout the apartment. The decor is eclectic and very charming, and the open-plan main room (living area, dining area, and a small open kitchen) is lovely to spend time in--comfortable couches, TV (which we didn't actually find time to use), phonograph with nice record collection, very cool standing lamps in addition to overhead lighting. A huge selling point for us was the upright piano, which Anne had tuned before we arrived, without our requesting that--incredible! Way above and beyond. We all enjoyed playing it (but not after 10 pm on weeknights and not too loudly, to respect Anne's neighbors). Anne left us a bottle of wine and some butter, cheese, milk, and orange juice to get us started--so very welcome!--and was incredibly nice about responding quickly to my questions about this and that. The kitchen is very well stocked with equipment etc. My kids liked the way the upper cabinets open like Tesla car doors. The oven was very clean and we managed to bake successful cookies in it. There are Calvin and Hobbes books in French in the half bath, which we were delighted to find, being huge fans. We agree with other reviewers that this apartment is a lovely retreat to return to after a long day of walking and metro-ing around Paris, and we highly recommend staying here.
