Don't judge a book by its cover - The biggest detraction of Chez Bianca is the entry - a funky (paint peeling, somewhat dark) entry off Rue Bichat, then an even funkier four flights of narrow spiral stair. Not the greatest "curb appeal", but once you are inside, the place is great. Small but well designed, highly efficient and quite attractive. We stayed there for six nights, cooked most of our breakfasts and dinners, and would have been happy to stay longer. We will certainly consider staying there again on our next Paris visit. In short, Chez Bianca is a wonderful apartment in an excellent location.
