Staying here was like having a glimpse of living in the neighborhood. Everything you need in close by. Even a metro stop just across the street. Yes there are many tourist buses going by. Sacre Coeur is just up the hill. But you can watch it all go by from the second floor balconies and feel like a native. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and there is a grocery store on the next corner. We were two couples and the accommodations were spacious and allowed privacy. One bedroom was a little bigger but was street side so noisier. The smaller bedroom is off the kitchen and opens on the open space between buildings so it was quieter. Loved our stay here and highly recommend.
