Comfortable modern apartment in genuinely "Parisian" Montmartre - sleeps 5.  Map

If you want to experience one of the most beautiful areas of Paris without hordes of tourists this apartment is the ideal choice. World famous for its authentic charm, village atmosphere and fairytale architecture, Montmartre has attracted painters and writers for centuries. Little surprise then that modern day Montmartre is a tourist magnate. Amazingly however, few seem to wonder down its northern slopes, choosing rather to congregate around the Place du Tertre or the Sacré Coeur. Indeed take the time to walk two minutes north of these famous monuments and you will find the genuinely "Parisian" Montmartre, free of tourists and retaining a true community that mixes musicians, artists and film personalities with locals that have lived here for centuries.

Just 1 minute walk from Lamark Courlaincourt métro station, this newly decorated 2 bedroom apartment sleeps 4/5 people comfortably.


It's located on the 1st floor (with lift) and looks onto a quiet cobbled street. The apartment has been well designed to produce a modern yet warm atmosphere.

You enter into an entrance hall which connects all the rooms in the property. The main living area (13ft9 x 10ft10, 4.20m x 3.30m) has a comfortable leather sofa, a flat screen plasma TV (BBC World, CNN), a DVD player which doubles as a CD player and a wooden dining table seating 4/5 people.

There's also a high-speed internet connection but you must bring your own computer.

The kitchen has all the expected appliances including an oven, electric hob, microwave, toaster, coffee machine and kettle.

The first bedroom (14ft x 10ft8, 4.3m x 3.25m) has a double bed (5ft3, 1.6m wide).


The second bedroom has a double bed (4ft7, 1.4m wide) and a single bed suitable for a child or teenager. Both rooms have hi-fi stereo systems, cupboard space and a fan.

The bathroom is located across the hall and has independent access from each of the bedrooms. It has a walk-in shower cubicle, basin and a washing machine.


There's a separate loo.

The area around the apartment has everything you need including food shops, boulangeries, delicatessens - and a local food and flower market on rue du Poteau. Good bars, cafés and restaurants are also in abundance, attracting the young and trendy as well as the local crowd.

Have a drink at Les Taulieres on rue du Fontaine de la Butte and enjoy the original décor whilst chatting with the female owners who can tell you anything you want to know about the area. Enjoy a bite to eat at Chez Ginette de la Cote d'Azur on rue Caulaincourt and end the evening downstairs in their newly renovated piano bar.

This is a No Smoking property.
