Malakoff - Plateau de Vanves Station holiday homes

Phemomenal experience starting with the professionalism and kindness of the property owners. The apartment was a true gem and a great value for the quintessentially Parisien experience complete with views overlooking a garden from the kitchen window and small terrace over a park in the living room. The wooden floors are vintage and the curtains are all ceiling to floor of romantic French toile. The shower has great water pressure! I really enjoyed that. All of the windows open and allow the breeze to flow in. I used the vintage hallway closets that have little wooden drawers for your small things and hangers for your clothes. There are many small amentities like books and board games. We had family game night and I used the basket of guidebooks to discover some local things. The LOCATION is GREAT!! It is steps from the street that leads to the Montmartre Museum and the oldest caberet. Sacre Coueur is just a short walk up the hill from the caberet and Vigne vineyard of Montmartre and the oldest house where Renoir lived. The apartment is around a corner so it's away from all tourists! We loved the Chez Ginette bistro across the street with its bright yellow and black chairs and great service. I walked up and down Rue Caulaincourt to find the bank, supermarket, boulanger, patisserie, cheese shop, butcher shop, chocolate shop, and wine shop. About 10 mins down is the Cemetary Montmartre and beyond that is Moulin Rouge. The home was truly delightful with such pretty decorations and lovely antiques. The children loved it. Compared to other modern apartments we stayed in, this gave us all a true sense of Paris. The other apts could have been San Francisco or New York. This is Paris 100%.
