Bianca’s place is very quiet, comfortable to sleep. Excellent neighborhood with many cafes, bakeries and shops nearby — Rue Montorgueil, covered passages and many side streets. Easy and safe walk to Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est — there were always others walking to and from the train stations with suitcases so you won’t be conspicuous. Metro nearby is a plus to get just about anywhere in Paris.
