We arrived in Paris after a long flight from Cape Town. Galina's apartment was easy to find. Her directions very useful. The walk from Blanche metro is short but lovely.. Great food stores (not just restaurants) in the area. The apartment is a tiring climb (with your luggage) up 6 floors but we expected this & the flat is small & very contained. We struggled a bit with the pull out couch.. Perhaps we should have requested to have it made up as we were tired & after a long flight wanted to get out & explore quickly & not worry to set up the bed. (& make up the bedding, cover the duvet etc) The place was smaller than we expected but clean, comfortable, organized & perfect really for 1 night stop before moving on in the morn. Which we did! The price is fine - the accommodations are not the type that you will un pack bags & stay awhile (there were no cupboards that I saw!) & not enough space, but the area is fantastic.. A 10min walk to Sacre Coeur & a lovely quaint area to get lost in, on foot. All in all, close by.. A lovely area. The bed was comfortable.
