We loved staying at Blandine's apartment.

The check-in worked perfectly; the apartment is spacious, with a particularly large living/dining space, which is perfect for people with young children; and the location is perfect - 5-10 minute walk to the Parc des Buttes Chaumont, 2 minute walk to the Metro, and on a road with shops providing everything you could possibly need. In fact, I was going straight on to a meeting when I returned to London and managed to get my suit pressed, shoes re-soled, a USB stick, and some printing done in shops less than five minutes from the apartment.

I assure you, it's very easy to spend a lot more on a lot less in Paris. We would return to Blandines place and recommend it wholeheartedly to others.
