This apartment is adorable, just like the photos. Overall, a great experience.
Good:
- Location in picturesque Montmartre, with a charming walk from the train station down cobblestone streets past lots of great cafes, wine stores, cheese shops, creperies, etc. Loved this neighborhood!
- Cute, spacious, well-decorated apartment. Master bed was comfortable, shower small but functional, loved the living room and grand piano
- Reasonably priced for the size and location
- Organized property contacts; they were helpful, had a full renter's contract and information for renters, responded quickly, etc.
Be prepared for:
- Very creaky floors (normal in an old apartment but just something to keep in mind)
- A bit of a walk from the Metro stations (maybe half a mile from Abbesses and Blanche). We didn't mind at all but I wouldn't recommend it if you have a hard time walking
- If you need to use US electronics, don't forget to bring converters
- We had a bit of trouble figuring out how to get into the apartment from downstairs--you have to hold the key up to this metal circle. Have the landlord person explain this in more detail; we obviously didn't pay close enough attention and it took a few tries to figure it out
The worst part about our Paris trip was that we couldn't fit in everything we wanted. If we come back, we will probably try to stay in this apartment again. I'd just like to live there, actually...
