Stylish Parisian Apartment
Why pay tourist prices for accommodation, food, drink and entertainment? Staying at this apartment you can live like a Parisian in a lively residential quarter, eat and drink locally and inexpensively, walk to Montmartre and the Marche aux Puces, and have convenient and cheap metro access to all the major city attractions.
Completely refurbished and refitted, this sunny, light and airy apartment retains its characteristic Parisian features, including original doors, high ceilings, traditional fireplaces, attractive coving, and polished oak parquet flooring.
Located on the 5th floor, you can sit outside on the balcony and enjoy the rooftop and distant panorama, complemented by a bird’s eye view of bustling street activity below. The apartment building has an elevator and secure entry.
Location
Bring some sunshine and magic to your life by strolling the same Montmartre streets as AMELIE.
Set in the lively 18th arrondissement, and high up in the hills of Montmartre, one of Paris few remaining villages, the apartment is a stones throw from steps that lead up to the Basilique du Sacre Coeur, with its sweeping outlook over the city, and the artistic quarter of Montmartre. Place Pigalle (Moulin Rouge), Place de Clichy, Place des Abesses, Marche aux Puces (the famous Paris antiques market), and Gare du Nord are all within easy walking distance.
Step out of the front door to discover a traditional artisan bakery opposite and a famed Vietnamese restaurant next door. Close by the busy and bustling everyday life revolves around the shopping streets of Place Jules Joffrin and Rues Caulaincourt and Custine. Restaurants, bistros, bars, bazaars, boulangeries, charcuteries, mini-supermarkets, banks, internet cafes, and tiny everyday and speciality shops abound.
The apartment provides easy metro (Jules Joffrin station 2 minutes away), bus, and cycle (sign up for a VELIB cycle for 5 euros/week, see www.velib.paris.fr) access to the major Paris sights and experiences. The Eiffel Tower, the River Seine, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, the Quartier Latin, and world-renowned museums and art galleries are at your doorstep.
