Lovely bright apartment, very conveniently located 1-2 minutes from the metro station, 10 minutes uphill walk to Sacre Coeur. It is in an ethnic African/Middle Eastern neighbourhood, so lots to see.

The apartment is as clean as you would expect of a place that someone has been living in - I was happy. Not a spartan hotel room.

If you have difficulty walking or climbing, be aware that like many Paris apartments, there are several flights of stairs to climb, with no lift available.

Didn't meet Karine, but her friend Keri travelled across town to let me into the apartment - thanks for that!
