Galina’s place is in the heart of Montmartre and close to tons of restaurants, bars and shops. It also has a fully stocked kitchen (besides very old, watered down dish soap). However before staying there are some things that guests should be aware of. It is on the 6th floor (no elevator) and therefore in the summer it is VERY hot (side note that we stayed in July when there was a heat wave in Paris). The outlets weren’t working well and there was not a real fan to cool the room, only small fans, which were not very effective. We had a hard time sleeping because of the heat and because there weren’t any sheets on the bed, just 2 scratchy and old blankets (comforter is different than pictured). In addition we made it clear that there were 2 guests, but there was only 1 full-size bath towel when we arrived. Also, there was a notice for bed bugs in the doorway into the building, which we immediately messaged Galina about and she responded quite a few hours later that the notice was for the building before her building, but we still would have liked to know about this before our arrival as it would show that she acknowledges the possibility of bed bugs in the apartment. The key was also very difficult to use and we had a lot of trouble with the lock system during check out. Overall, we did not feel as though Galina was a very welcoming host as there was no flexibility at all for check in and check out, and she had a whole email of rules that did make sense, but it seemed like she didn't want anyone to be in her space. This place is a good option for 2 people who don't mind being in close quarters and in during months where the city is not as hot and can handle a lot of stairs.
