This is a lovely small apartment, very suitable for a couple. We were initially worried that the stairs to the bedroom were a bit steep, but the 80 year-old managed them just fine. We stayed for four weeks, found the two metro lines very useful, loved the two parks nearby, lots of choice for eating out, supermarkets nearby and the fresh produce market twice a week in Bvde Belleville as well as many small shops and bakeries very close by. Of course it was still winter but the apartment was beatifully cosy and warm, and very quiet too.
