The flat itself is lovely. It is exactly as pictured and had everything that we needed for our month long stay. Belleville is also a very exciting area of Paris, with a great atmosphere. During our stay however, we found that there were mice in the apartment. When we spoke to Gerald and Linda about this we discovered they already knew about the mice and we found them to be quite dismissive of the problem. We were staying in the flat whilst taking some exams in Paris, so having mice was very stressful. When we requested some money back from the owners, they told us we were overreacting and accused us of not being understanding towards them! In the final 2 days of living in the flat, they sent in exterminators to solve the problem, so there will be no mice in the flat for future tenants. Our experience with Gerald and Linda was not pleasant and we will definitely not be going back.
