A home in the magical Montmartre 18eme.
Welcome to Apartment Souhila
Welcome to Souhila’s home in Paris. This is where you come to stay to feel and BE an everyday local Parisian. This traditional and classic family home is simply presented to you, as a budget friendly option and an everyday living space with out the modern day frills, but even better, with all the regular charm of a classic Parisian apartment with wooden floor boards, classic mouldings, a true everyday apartment, and un perfectly petit and classic Parisian balcon to sip your morning coffees at.
This apartment is set within a typical haussmann building, on the 5th floor (no lift) in the most beautiful part (and my favourite village of Paris as everyone knows) the artists village of Montmartre 18eme - even better, this home is located in the quieter district of Montmartre, the trendy backend where local residents prefer to live (to get away from the touristic hotspots of the village) yet it is only walking distance to Montmartre’s famous Place du Terte and all the major sights that the village is known for as well as an abundance of classic cozy little nook cafes, bars, brasseries including an abundance of these right from your front at your door as well as supermarkets, chemists, and all the everyday essentials. Located close to Lisette’s apartment, Souhila’s home is a safe and wonderful place to be based on Paris.

Location details
the true artists village of Paris
The 18th arrondissement is a true Parisian village experience. It is the home to the last standing vineyard and windmill in Paris, and is a gorgeous labyrinth of cobblestone cozy nooks and crannies, hidden gardens and beautiful mansions to admire, as well as cafes, bars, brasseries, boutiques, art shops and galleries and more. It is known as the artist’s village of Paris as all the artistic greats were drawn to the beauty of the areas and lived there at one point in their careers, Degas, Van Gogh, Picasso, Pissarro and more. It's also home to the Moulin Rouge, Lapin Agile (one of the oldest caberets in the city) and it is an easy downhill walk to the centre of Paris passing Opera Garnier, Galleries Lafayette. Each October the Fetes des Vendanges - the Harvest Festival, a very unique wine festival is held over 5 days to honour the new vintage of the vineyards on the hill with music, workshops, tastings, a flea market, bands, parades, fireworks and much more including a quirky Cérémony des Non-Demandés en Mariage – an eccentric ritual that involves not getting married to your partner. This is followed by the open-air Bal des Non-Mariés at Place des Abbesses, where singletons celebrate not being married.
