Situated on the 5th floor of a circa-1910 building without elevator, Tiphaine’s beautiful apartment made us feel at home. It is tastefully decorated, full of light, and comfortable – even the bookshelf contained terrific books (all in French). The location in Belleville is great. Convenient to two stops of the Line 11 Metro, the apartment is located near excellent shops for fruits and vegetables, cheese, wine, and groceries. It is about 10 minutes’ walk to the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont. Tiphaine herself was an attentive host and checked by email, mid-week, to make sure we were happy. Overall, we loved staying in this apartment. We were sorry to leave, and would gladly return!
