I loved this place and the centrality to many of Paris' best non-touristy neighborhoods (and the Marais, which of course is touristy but nonetheless fabulous with all its art galleries). The Marche de Belleville on Tuesday morning will make you feel like a local (it's a 1 minute walk from the apartment). The living room overlooked a garden below and the cutest brick building with a clock in the distance with lots of very Parisian chimneys on the rooftops. I slept very well here. For those who like a long hot shower, it is best to know that the hot water won't last very long - so best to spend your time exploring Paris rather than taking a long shower :)
