I've spent two weeks at Nadia and Waldir's place and I really recommend this apparment. As it is an actual room in their house and not just for guests, it feels very cozy if you apreciate good design and a warm habitat atmosphere. The location is spectecular, each morning as I stepped outside I found myself at the top of Park of Belleville, with a magnificent view of paris, and at night I often found musical/dance/theatrical events nearby. This neighbourhood is lively and cultural and bears that feeling of being in the heart of Paris yet it is calm. Food is no problem as the house is equipped with a good cuisine for cooking, supermarkets and boulangeries are nearby or there is a great restaurant just on the other side of the street or planty of cheap oriental fast food which is not bad at all. Metro is close by and connects quickly to the center, so nowhere is too far. Most importantly, Nadia and Waldir themselves are extremely nice people, they were helpful above and beyond with information and anything I needed and it was just a pleasure to share this space with them. I am very content with my stay at their place.
