Situated between Rue de Menilmontant and rue des Panoyaux.
Within a few steps is the Parc des Buttes Chaumont, the widest one of Paris, very agreeable for a relaxing stroll. Also in a short distance from the apartment is the Père Lachaise cemetery where number of celebrities were buried such as the composer Chopin, the writers Moliere and Oscar Wilde, and the lead singer of The Doors band, Jim Morrison. A little farther is the live rue Oberkampkf showing diverse restaurants, nightclubs and trendy bars, all set up over the past few years. Places such as the Marais area, the Louvre Museum, or the Seine River are in 15 to 20 minutes by metro from the apartment. All sorts of conveniences are easily found in the neighborhood.
Pastel colored walls enhance the nice parquet floor, enlightened by windows looking out onto the silent courtyard. Located on the 3rd floor of a 20th century walk up building equipped with a security system this south - southeast exposed 35m2 apartment has 2,67m high ceilings.
To the right side of the hall is the living room fitted out with a green double sofa bed, a coffee table, two small tables, a TV, VCR, DVD players and a stereo set on a stand, a double glazing window garnished with curtains, a floor lamp, a leather pouf and houseplants.
At the bottom of the living room is the bedroom including a 140cm sofa bed, closets, a floor lamp, bookshelves and a window screened by rolling blinds.
The open kitchen is equipped with four vitro ceramic burners and a stainless steel sink fit on the wooden worktop, a multifunction oven, a fridge with freezer compartment, electric kettle, coffee maker and toaster, two windows, other kitchen utensils stowed away in the cupboards and shelves and a washing machine.
In front of the main door, the white tiled bathroom includes a shower cabin with detachable showerhead protected by a screen, a white ceramic washbasin fit on a cabinet with a medicine cabinet above, a toilet and a window protected by Venetian blinds.
The closest metro stations are Menilmontant (line 2) and Pere Lachaise (lines 2 and 3)
The apartment was adorable and perfect for what I needed. It was quiet, safe, and comfortable. The main issue I had was with the door key; it always eventually worked but sometimes I had to try several times to make it work and once it took about 5 minutes to get into the apartment. The neighborhood is diverse and there is an excellent gyro place on the corner. The landlords were helpful and nice and worked around my schedule, which I very much appreciated. Overall it was an excellent place to stay.

Further to this review, the owner checked the lock with all the keys and noticed that one of the spare keys is indeed difficult to use. She confirmed that this will be fixed.
Sep 06 2011My wife and I rented the apartment for 8 months in 2010. The information given by NYH was very accurate, precise and they directed us well in our choice. The owners proved to be correct, nice and kind. We appreciated the "all inclusive" (electrical energy, internet and telephone). The apartment is small but complete with everything: the kitchen is well equipped, the shower efficient, the bed, full size French style, a bit small for two. The neighborhood is nice, multi-ethnic and interesting. Therefore overall a positive experience with both the agency and with the owners. thanks to all of you
