Marion's flat is, in a word, terrific. Its location is in a great part of town due south of Anvers metro station; it's only about a five-minute walk from the metro to the apartment and all of Montmartre is reaching within just a couple of metro stops from Anvers. The neighborhood is quite walkable, and there are lots of shops, cafes and restaurants within minutes of the flat. We felt quite safe walking day or night.

Access to the flat is via a private alley off the street, so it's nice and quiet at night; the windows in the flat are also new and look triple-glazed for insulation and noise. You can walk the stairs or use the tiny elevator; if using the latter, prepare for several trips if you're several people and luggage. The flat is as described in words and pictures, and it's quite comfortable for two--more if you're willing to use the pull-out sofa bed. The pink chairs and chaise are pretty comfortable, too. The dining area will comfortably seat six. As you might expect in an old building, you can sometimes hear a bit of walking above you or in the stairwell if people wear hard-soled shoes, so best practice is to keep your hard heels off when inside so as not to do same to anyone below you.

Marion's flat is very cozy and conveys a comfortable, lived-in feeling. Books and interesting conversation pieces abound; she's evidently been all over the world and travels quite a bit. There was room in the kitchen and fridge for any groceries we might have bought, and all the other amenities were on par: Internet worked well. Temperature is automatically controlled via wireless thermostat; we had no issues at all with the heating. Save for a couple of uncooperative fixtures, the flat is well-lit. The bathroom and shower are nicely accommodated, and hot water was on-demand, though we could have used a couple more towels. A washing machine is available as well, though we didn't need it.

About the only thing lacking that I can think of was a place to hang clothes, as the closets were locked and there's really no other place suitable for hanging anything. That said, I would absolutely rent this flat again the next time I'm in Paris.
