We didn’t meet Johan, who was away travelling, but communication with him was very easy and immediate, he quickly gave us every answer and help we needed and offered good tips. He was very kind and accomodating about check-in and check-out hours. The flat is a little gem: spacious, comfortable, full of light and with big windows, very uncluttered (even a bit too bare: no pictures on the wall) and relaxing, with some good pieces of design: the couch and chairs, the beautiful lamps. It is extremely quiet, as it looks on a lovely green courtyard full of trees and chirping birds, with well organized spaces: an ample living room, an efficient separate kitchen, a small but comfortable bedroom with a good queen bed. The bathroom is tiny but functional, with nice details, and everything is clean. The area around is colorful, vibrant and full of life, in the heart of exciting Belleville, with lots of shops, supermarkets, a lovely open market and interesting cheap restaurants a few steps away. The metro station is just around the corner, and the beautiful Canal St Martin is very close. The price/quality ratio for this flat is stunning: absolutely recommended!
