My three teenage daughters and I stayed at Melanie's apartment in Montmartre for 12 days and had a great time. There is a small grocery store conveniently located across the street. There are many good restaurants/bistros/cafes nearby and even an award winning bakery (La Grenier Pain) one street away. There were many interesting stores for shopping. Sacred Coeur is a 5-10 minute walk. The neighborhood is lively and safe and the neighbors are friendly. The apartment is located just a one minute walk from the Abbesses metro station so it is easy to get to all parts of Paris. We were able to easily use the metro to see all the tourist sites in Paris with no problem. The apartment is exactly as pictured; bright, modern, clean and comfortable. Melanie is a good host - Highly recommended.
