I truly enjoyed my stay in Selim's place. The small studio had everything you need for a few nights (or many!) in Paris, and the warm atmosphere in the neighborhood made me feel like home. The bed was comfortable and I slept sweetly in the peace of the inner yard after strolling around in the lively city. There was a little kitchen and a pink table outside under the plants, which was the perfect place to eat breakfast (in the occasional company of a cat) before heading to the city.

Belleville was by far my favorite neighborhood to stay in Paris. It is a lively and authentic area filled with street art, cafés, markets, restaurants and a couple of beautiful parks. I liked it that Belleville is much less crowded than some more central areas of Paris, though still very accessible.
Selim was very easy to communicate with before and during my stay. He was very discreet and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. I highly recommend his place for anyone who travels alone and values some peace and privacy during their trip in Paris.
