Everything is exactly as described--very cute neighborhood, great directions provided by Galina, six flights of stairs weren't easy, small apartment for two, comfortable bed, nice wine gesture, etc. We happened to go to Paris June 27-July 3, which coincided with a heat wave across Europe where temperatures reached 95-103 degrees F (35-38 C) and nights did NOT cool down. We chose Galina's apartment only because it is listed as air conditioned (in American English, air conditioning means a unit that removes humidity and shoots out cold air). We were not aware of Paris' regulations regarding air conditioning. Despite the awful heat, Galina did bring an extra air cooler and try to accommodate us. Ultimately, we were extremely hot and uncomfortable and a bit frustrated that the apartment was listed as air-conditioned, since this is the main reason we chose it. All in all, I would recommend Galina's apartment if air conditioning is not important to you.
