The Dancers Paris, Île-de-France

Holiday Rental Description

Warm and inviting, this apartment marries cosy comfort with quintessential Parisian charm. In the living room, overflowing bookshelves and an intricate ornamental fireplace take centre stage, while large French windows adorned with Juliet balconies ensure that each room has plenty of natural light. Whether you're curled up with a well-thumbed read on the sumptuous sofas, cooking up a storm in the quaint kitchen or dozing in the comfortable bedrooms, you're sure to feel right at home here – we know that we did.

Another thing we love is the location, right in the heart of artsy Montmarte. Staying here is like stepping into a painting or a movie set, with cobbled lanes, blooming flower boxes and views in every direction. Make the climb to Sacré-Cœur – a mere five-minute walk away – then stroll down to the pretty Rue de l'Abreuvoir and enjoy a meal at the famed French bistro. There's plenty of choice for drinking and dining in this neighbourhood – from wine bars and bakeries to gourmet eateries. Plus, with Lamarck-Caulaincourt station just four minutes on foot, zipping around the rest of Paris is a breeze.

Home truths:
*While the home has a lift for step-free access to the fourth floor, there are a few steps in the home that makes it unsuitable for wheelchair users
*The dryer doesn't work that well, so we suggest hanging up your clothes to air dry
*This area is full of steep hills, so be sure to pack comfortable shoes
*You won't need a car in Paris and finding parking is tricky – instead of driving, explore on foot or take the metro
*We love the lived-in feeling here, but it may not be for everyone
*The wi-fi here doesn't reach all rooms, so you may find yourself without signal in some areas of the home
