We had the pleasure of staying at Stephanie’s property in Montmartre for five nights in October. Stephanie met us punctually at our agreed-upon time in front of the apartment building. Enthusiastic and thorough, she took us up to the apartment and gave us a tour.
The apartment is as described, but so much more; we felt as if we could have lived there. In addition to the appealing and comfortable furnishings (my husband said it was the most comfortable bed he’d slept in) and decor, we were greeted by a generous welcome basket, a computer connected to wifi, an iPhone for our personal use while in Paris (complete with Google maps to help us navigate our way around the city and other helpful apps), two sets of keys, and a landline from which we could call home. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the modern conveniences. The bathroom was roomy, and included a heated towel rack and washer/dryer set-up.
Stephanie took the time to point out local markets, patisseries, boulangeries and restaurants, all of which were also mentioned in an excellent and thoroughly presented “manual” about the apartment, surrounding area and Paris in general. It was extremely useful and helpful. We particularly liked the Boulangerie Laurent, Boris La Patisseries and restaurant Chez Ginette, all on the same street as the apartment.
The apartment is a seven-minute walk to the Metro; the post office is across from the Metro station. We walked to Sacré Coeur, exploring the neighborhood along the way. All of Paris was easily accessible from the apartment. All communications with Stephanie were answered quickly and warmly. It really was a superior experience, going way beyond our expectations. Thank you!
