This is a lovely cosy apartment with everything you would need for a short trip to Paris. The balcony is a highlight - such an amazing view! There is a shop right next to the apartment and a Lidl 5 minutes walk away. We found the Belleville metro station to be best to travel from with the metro being cheap and easy to travel on when we got used to it! Bob and his wife communicated with us really well and were especially welcoming. We loved our stay!
