Timothée's place is a real gem. It has character and stunning views, I do not think you will find anything alike. Timothée is very helpful and easy to reach. We have stayed here for a week and it felt like we were living the living-in-Paris dream. The location is also perfect, on the border between the more gentrified and 'hip' area on the one side and the buzzing and exciting multicultural Belleville one on the other (although this borderline is obviously moving). plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. In other reviews, I have seen some remarks about hygiene and smoking, which are not untrue. But as a very smell-critical ex-smoker, I can testify that all other factors totally compensate for that. We. Loved. It.
