Matthieu was a wonderful host! He has excellent communication and was extremely helpful in providing tips regarding the area and arranging us a taxi upon departure. The apartment was great - Matthieu had provided all the amenities you could wish for. Very thorough indeed. The area, Belleville, is on first glance an area you would not normally associate with Paris, but let me assure you we found it to be completely safe and hospitable. The apartment has Metro access just out the front making it an easy 10 min trip into the centre of Paris. Very much recommended.
