My family and I felt very safe in the apartment and in Belleville in general. The location was optimal - just a short walk to the tube and a ton of great food. The apartment is three bedrooms but there is not much privacy so you'll want to travel and stay here if you are ok with that. Showers are small so be mindful of water escaping and causing a mess. Romain was very communicative and accommodating, but you will need to ask about turning the heat/air up and/or down because it is not controlled onsite. Overall we had an excellent stay with close family and the price was right!
