Maison La Bohème Montmartre is one of the smartest ways to stay in Montmartre if you value proximity to this charming neighborhood without chaos. The luxury apartments opened less than two years ago, just steps from Sacre Coeur, offering carefully considered interiors and luxury amenities.
You can also move easily beyond the tourist areas. From the apartments, it is an easy walk to places just north locals actually use, including Sobremesa, a relaxed natural wine bar and restaurant that feels contemporary without trying too hard. That ability to step into something current, then retreat back upstairs, is part of what makes this location work.
Montmartre can be difficult to navigate as a visitor. It is crowded most of the day, uneven underfoot, and packed with short-term tourists moving through quickly. Day-trippers start arriving around 9 a.m. and do not clear out until after dinner. These apartments offer a way to enjoy the neighborhood without being consumed by that cycle. You are steps from Sacré-Cœur, which means early mornings and evenings are yours. You can walk out for a coffee before the crowds arrive, then retreat once the streets fill up and plan the rest of your day from a quieter base.
The apartments themselves are well designed and generously laid out, which matters more in Montmartre than most neighborhoods, where space is usually the first thing you give up. Wallpaper gives each space a Parisian personality without being excessively busy. Kitchens are fully functional, with espresso machines you will actually use and everything you need for a dinner in if you’re in the mood for that. Washer-dryers in the apartments make longer stays realistic, especially when traveling with children or multiple adults.
For us, this was the perfect solution when traveling as a family while my mother visited. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom, which made such a difference. We could share space without being on top of one another, and that kept the stay relaxed.
Being able to make breakfast in the apartment, store snacks in the fridge, and move at our own pace made the trip so much more relaxing. Importantly, the apartments are serviced daily. Beds are made, towels refreshed, and the space tidied each day. You get the autonomy of an apartment with the ease of a hotel, which is not a common combination in Paris.
Another advantage is what sits directly below you. The apartments are located above La Bohème Montmartre, their well-known restaurant. Having a reliable restaurant downstairs anchors the stay in the neighborhood and removes decision fatigue, especially in the evening.
Maison La Bohème Montmartre is best suited to travelers who value space, design, and control over their schedule. It works particularly well for families or longer stays, and for anyone who wants to experience Montmartre without contributing to over-tourism. In a neighborhood of Paris that can feel overexposed, this is a quiet and genuinely comfortable place to experience the neighborhood like a local.
