Here is the building façade and the square that the apartment looks out upon. No cars—it’s a pedestrian square. One of the famous staircases of Montmartre comes off the square.

Inside the apartment is an “American kitchen” with a two-burner range, refrigerator, toaster oven, microwave, and all the equipment, utensils, dishes needed for cooking and eating at home.

The bathroom has a big tub (with shower head), and hot water is plentiful.

The Lamarck neighborhood is the sweet spot of Montmartre, a lively, untouristy area directly behind Sacre Coeur (you can walk to the basilica in about 5 minutes). This metro stop is also a five-minute walk from the apartment.

Just steps from the apartment are three fabulous cafes:

Le Café Arrosé …

…Francis Labutte (the stairs lead to Sacre Coeur)…

…and Froggy’s.

No self-respecting Parisian neighborhood would be without its local butcher and cheese specialist.

Where is rue Nobel? It is in the historic north central Montmartre neighborhood (see purple circle)
