We had a great week. We enjoyed the feel of being in a real Paris neighbourhood with people of diverse origins in what is a truly multicultural area of Paris. Great supermarkets nearly and excellent transportation links, with two metro stops within a couple of minutes walk and a vibrant street market between Ménilmontant and Belleville metro stations two days a week. The apartment is very characterful, with lots of surprising and provocative artwork. Would definitely stay here again.
