I stayed with my friend at the apartment. It was perfect for us because we had our own bedrooms and bathrooms.

The instructions David sent through upon booking were fantastic- everything was carefully explained and considered allowing us to feel at home immediately.

The apartment is simply amazing- light filled, spacious but also cozy. It was very clean and well looked after. The beds were comfortable. It was very quite and peaceful inside the courtyard and apartment.

Belleville is a very multicultural and busy area. We found it difficult to find nice places to eat at the beginning however once we walked 2-3 blocks toward the canals we found many great restaurants and cafes. It is not a touristy area so I would recommend brushing up on your French before staying in this area.

The apartment is literally a 1 minute walk to the Metro and it is extremely easy to get around the city. We did however find it very difficult to get a taxi in this area so I would recommend booking instead of trying to hail one on the streets.

We loved the apartment and found it such a relaxing and inspiring space. We would stay again.
