We loved our stay with Remy and Noemi! The room is very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting outside and eating delicious takeaway at the table and chairs. The shower was the best we have had on our travels so far. Great water pressure and high end finishes! We just loved the general feel of the room - plenty of closet space/drawers, etc. and a very tranquil environment. It was the perfect escape from the craziness of the touristy areas.
We took Ubers to the city center, which can be a long ride. You’re better off on the metro but we were only there for a couple days so we stuck to Uber.
Belleville is a neat neighborhood. The places to eat we tried nearby (Guo Xin and Le Cave) were great. The views from Belleville Park were spectacular.
A few things I wish I would have known:
- Graffiti is everywhere in Paris. Where we are from it’s usually a sign of a not as desirable area, so I was a bit nervous at first, until we saw it everywhere we went!
- Sound carries between other units so if you are a very light sleeper, you might want to plan for ear plugs. My husband and I both sleep like rocks so it was not a problem for us.
- Make sure to have directions to get in easily accessible. Once you get in once, it is super easy, but the first time you’re questioning if you are right and the instructions provided have very helpful pictures to reassure you!
