Everything You Desire and More!

My wife and I had been apart for a couple of months due to my business travel. We had a chance to rendezvous in Paris - where better?!
First I will tell you that the apartment is clean, well maintained, and a perfect balance of old world charm and modern convenience. Its not a big place, but perfect if you are not a picky person in need of luxury. The concierge, and her son, was courteous, pleasant and attentive, when needed, and otherwise invisible. The owner is great to work with, accommodating and straight forward. There were no surprise fees and the whole transaction was easy and painless. Thank you Francois!
Now I will say that, at first, before our arrival, I was worried if I had chosen the right place. My fears were all in vein. The apt is situated perfectly in Montmartre, just steps from the Sacre-Coeur cathedral. Montmartre is a great mixture of an arts district with a little bit of decadence thrown in (the Moulin Rouge is just down the street). The neighborhood is a lively blend of shops, bistros, cafés, and small pubs. One exit from the small apt complex leads you to a main street with close access to the Metro – from there EVERYTHING is only 10 - 15 minutes away. The other exit reveals Paris as it is to the Parisians; it opens to a small neighborhood café and market where you can simply relax, pass time and watch the world go by. I can’t say enough about all we did, from the typical tourist stuff to simply walking through our neighborhood and having a great time with the locals and nearby events. We could not have had a better reunion. We would definitely recommend a stay here and hope to be back soon!
