Location The apartment has a fabulous location, right in the heart of Montmartre, on the side of the hillside, just a minute away from the Sacré Coeur and the famous Place du Tertre (see aerial view here). Rue Paul Albert is a narrow, steep cobbled street, which runs down the hill towards two sets of steep typical Montmartre-style steps (one of which leads up to the Sacré Coeur), and a tiny place with a handful of cafes and restaurants, shaded by the trees of the pretty Sacré Coeur gardens and hung with lights in the evenings. The street and the place have a very lively atmosphere and are extremely picturesque - several films have been shot here! - but happily the street remains off the direct tourist track and you'll find most of the people enjoying the cafés are locals rather than visitors. See slideshow > The apartment is within easy reach of three metro stations: Abbesses (line 12, north-south Paris), Château Rouge (line 4, also north-south Paris) and Anvers (line 2, east-west Paris). For exploring Montmartre, the “Montmartrobus”stops very conveniently just at the top of the road.
