Jeremy made us feel very welcome when we arrived, waiting on us just outside the apartment (in the rain)! The apartment is beautiful with fun accents, Jeremy pays great attention to detail. The view from the balcony makes the 5 flights of stairs worthwhile. Perfect for a couple, we had everything we needed and the apartment made it an even more memorable trip for us. Good closet space, kitchen is well-equipped for cooking, towels provided, plus a hairdryer which was very useful. The Beleville metro station is literally steps away, down the street, and it has access to two lines. You can be in the center of Paris in 10-15 minutes. The neighborhood is multi-cultural as others have said. The apartment is well-secured and very safe.
