Belleville is very nice district to explore. Stay here if u want to experience local people's life. Lots of local food shop and markets near Belleville station. It is better to catch a taxi with fixed price of 50e to reach this apt within 30 mins. This apt is cozy, bright, well-equipped especially a lot of cooking utensils, stylist dining counter, 4 floor to climb with steep staircase. The handy shower's button need to be replaced, the sofa is a bit dusty and complicated to pull out so we didn't do that. Toilet is in the bedroom which is not convenient for the third person to access. Other than that everything is perfect. Just 8 mins by train to tourist places (chatelet station). The open market which is twice per month near Belleville station is very cheap, so check its schedule. Hippo, owner's assistant is very helpful and quick response. We appreciate that. Good value. Recommend!
