Victoria's apartment is a delightful, small place. Not big, but packed with all necessities for a visit. The area near Sacre Coeur has a vibrant African atmosphere, with fruit & veg, butcheries, beauty salons, clothing stores as well as the occasional excellent traditional French boulangerie. It's very close to the Chateau Rouge metro so ideal for getting around Paris. Lively during the day, but it quietens down at night.
