Bilel’s apartment was excellent. The location is great, you’re right by Gambetta and Belleville, 20 minute walk to Bastille, Republique, Aligre…Tons of great bars and restaurants around. The unit was clean, spacious and well-equipped. Bilel was so nice to let me check-in a bit early. He was very responsive during the check-in process.
In addition to the positive comments I’ve read here, I wanted to add that the unit faces 2 courtyards from both ends, and there are windows in almost each room. It feels spacious, airy and you get a lot of light. the separate toilet has a bidet, what a treat! The Murphy bed was comfy, easy to bring up and down. I’m thankful I found Bilel’s apartment, it made my initial stay in Paris so much better.
