At the center of Paris’ bohemian and art history is the Montmartre quarter. While the famous butte’s artistic heyday was at the end of the nineteenth century, the bohemian appeal of the quarter remains. The Montmartre-Sacre Coeur area, in the 18th arrondissement, is still the home to winding village streets, spectacular views and this charming one-bedroom accommodation on the Rue Saint Eleuthere (PA-3463).
Paris Accommodation: One bedroom rental in Montmarte - Sacre Coeur (PA-3463)
Renters looking to capture the spirit of the quarter in their Paris rental accommodation need look no further than this one-bedroom apartment. While not huge in size, this flat is enormous on personality. Tastefully decorated with a quirky tinge might be the best way to describe the decor in the apartment. An oversized clock looms over the dining area while Warholian paintings grace the walls of the living room.
The color-scheme is warm, bright and accentuated by bold dashes of red and orange here and there. Beautiful hardwood floors gather light from the accommodation’s large windows all day long. Said windows look out onto a small courtyard and virtually all of Paris. Renters can spot the Tour Montparnasse during the day and watch as the Eiffel Tower shines at night. The metro station Abesses is short walking distance from the apartment.
Sacre Coeur, Paris France
Montmartre and the area surrounding the Sacre Coeur Basilica has become a huge tourist destination, and for good reason. The village atmosphere has never left the area and the views from atop the butte are among the best in Paris. There are countless shops and galleries worth visiting on and around Paris’ most famous hill, including a wonderful fruit and vegetable market on Rue Lepic. Another worthy accommodation in the quarter is this one bedroom on Rue Androuet (PA-2305).
Why is this one bedroom apartment a Hidden Gem?
An original design and priceless views make this one-bedroom accommodation in Paris a Hidden Gem. Sure, many of Montmartre’s famous artists have left for other parts of the city, but the maze-like streets and rooftop views of the famous quarter are here to stay.
What world famous painter has a museum dedicated to his work just around the corner from the Sacre Coeur?

I guess Toulouse-Lautrec? The 18th arrondissement with its white little streets and the Sacre Coeur against a blue sky looks nothing like the rest of gray Paris. Metro Abbesses has been recently renovated… The walk is quite steep (good workout guaranteed!), so I brought a French friend and a Plan de Paris to avoid getting lost. I went to Sacre Coeur again when an old friend asked me to take her to the place that looks like the Taj Mahal.
