For those who want to enjoy a nice vacation in the Center of Paris, with major attractions at their doorstep, cafes, bars, typical parisian groceries, boulangeries, open air markets etc..., and still remain a budget, this apt. is the way to go. The Butte Montmartre is the artsy place of Paris, a "village in the Center of Paris", a safe and quiet area,
pedestrians having priority and car traffic being restricted during week-ends, while a special security care is given to this major attraction in Paris, with more than 8 million visitors/year. Since it is on a steep hill, it stands like an island off neighboring areas, being known since centuries as the "Artsy Place of Paris", the place of Picasso, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Utrillo and most of the greatest French aritists, with a rich history of ancient typical parisian buildings in tiny cobble stoned streets. On the 2nd Floor ( 3rd Floor US count ) of an ancient stone building, the apt was just entirely renovated and upgraded. It has a living room with a pull out sofa and a bedroom with a full size bed, a kitchenette with microwave, a shower and a WC. THE NEIGHBORHOOD: A village without a market place would not be a village, so, yes, around the corner you'll dive right into the rue Lepic-Abbesses open air market ambiance. From the tiny terrace of the Caves de Montmartre you will enjoy the animation, while drinking your glass of wine on a barrel. Later, in the evening, there is a tiny “secret” bar in the back of the shop, with a genuine “atmosphere montmartroise,” where you can enjoy a plateau de fromages with your favorite wine.... and this is just one out of the thousands of possibilities to have fun here !
