Long international flights and airports can be exhausting these days so it's nice, and a relief, when there's no stress getting to and into your accommodation after arriving. And Jean Louis certainly made it easy through good communication and making sure we could drop our bags off and supply the keys before check-in time. The apartment was thoughtfully decorated, spacious for Paris, with a strong wifi connection. For us, we love exploring the Bellville and Ménilmontant area, a very good address on Metro line 11 that gives you a quick and straight shot to the center and two major hubs to other lines. The neighborhood is diverse like much of the 19th & 20th, very local and lively with cafes, shops, markets, bookstores, and of course some excellent cuisine far from the overpriced restaurants you find in the center. Short walks to Parc de Bellville and Parc Buttes Chaumont if you want views of Paris or just need to clear your head.
