Apartment/ flat - Paris

We stayed in this apartment for 10 days in September 2019. We found the place to be modern clean and very adequately furnished for 2 people. The owner was very accommodating to any queries we had, and responded immediately.

The location was great, steps from the Metro Line, a restaurant across the street and very close to local markets and a supermarket. We were within easy walking distance to Sacre Coeur with all the local artists, vendors, restaurants and bars.

We would highly recommend this apartment and would definitely stay here again.

The flat was very clean and host was gracious even though we arrived early because of a flight change. The upstairs neighbor had a party one night until 2:30am and awakened us a different night as well. The owner apologized, but, of course, can not control the other apartment noise or the metro rumble.

We felt some amenities were lacking, such as soap. If I were to make suggestions, I would have the owner leave a list of recommended local restaurants, (We have stayed in other Paris apartments where this information was most helpful.) The owner responded quickly to my email message. We intentionally left two things in the frig and some coffee for the next visitor.

This beautiful and large apartment is located near the metro Lamarck stop, so transportation to and from Paris center is easy. The apartment has balconies both in the living room and in bedroom facing an internal yard/patio giving plenty of natural light. The apartment is nicely decorated with a well-appointed bathroom, a comfortable living room and a small kitchen that nevertheless has all the necessary stuff (including a convection oven) to prepare a nice meal. Marilyn is an excellent host and she was waiting to give us many recommendations of places to visit in Montmartre as well as directions to a market area a few blocks from the apartment where you can find wine merchants, fishmongers, butchers, fresh and local produce, boulangeries and so on. You should consider two minor issues regarding the apartment: 1- there is no elevator, 2- although the apartment has double paned windows that effectively block outside noises, you will hear people going up and down the stairs and walking on the top floor. So, if you are sensitive take some earplugs since staying at Marilyn's apartment is worth this minor discomfort.

We stayed in the apartment for 3 nights in July. The apartment was well furnished with a fully equipped kitchen and was spotless!! We are a family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 teens) and the apartment was fine for us. We did sleep on the fold out couch which was actually comfortable! The apartment is just a few minutes walk from the subway. There are several restaurants nearby and only a 10 minute walk to Sacré-Cœur. There is a convenience/market store at the end of the street. There is a restaurant across the street with outside seating but it quieted down by the time we went to bed so that was not a problem. We took a taxi to the Eiffel Tower area and did our sightseeing from there. The taxi was only 15 euro each way. The apartment has no AC and it was hot but at night it cooled down. We were not in the apartment during the day so the heat didn't bother us. My ONLY suggestion for improvement would be a fan. Other than that the apartment was wonderful!! Marilyn was very accessible by phone or e-mail for any questions we had. The directions to access the apartment were very thorough. The bathroom was very nice and clean and had a blow dryer and a hair straightener and plenty of towels. I would definitely recommend this apartment!!

We had a lovely time in Montmartre at this homey flat on a tiny, out of the way street in a beautiful neighbourhood of Paris. Easy Metro access to everything. Marilyn was easily reached when we had a question. Thanks, Marilyn!
