I had a wonderful experience with Bruno's place. The room is lovely with a comfortable bed and a gorgeous view and the whole apartment is adorable - it has a homy and relaxed feel and you feel instantly at ease there. But - importantly - the ease is not the least due to Bruno's generous and hospitable being. He's a great host; attentive, polite, funny, helpful, doing as much to make your stay enjoyable. The location of the apartment is also just as one could wish for - Menilmontant is my new favorite area in Paris with such a nice atmosphere with lots of bars and cafés and it's very close to the metro and Belleville, the canal, Oberkampf, etc. Lovely place!
