We had a lovely time at Bel appart parisien. Gail, the host's wife was there to welcome us and was very amiable. She gave us all the information we needed with regards to the use of appliances in the kitchen. She had allowed us to use the The apartment was clean and tidy and big enough for all of us (two couples and 2 kids). Beds were comfortable with quality beddings. Bathroom and toilet were very clean. We love the kitchen and enjoyed our dinner as if we were at home. Thank you Christophe and Gail and Sandy too, who was there to welcome us. The area has a vibrant environment, as the people were mostly immigrants from Asia and Africa. We love the adjoining Monmartre area where Carrefour supermarket was located, three bus stops away. Sacre Coer was very near, walking distance. The Barbes Metro was located in front of the Apartment so it was easy for us to move around Paris. The downside was the WiFi, which did not work. In terms of entertainment, the kids had relied only on the Cartoon channel (in French!). We were not able to communicate with the host while we were staying there and were not able to use the social network which was very important for us.
