The apartment has really good amenities and essentially everything you could need is there, from the kitchen equipment to a vacuum, umbrella and hair dryer. Belleville is a less affluent area and the main streets can seem a bit dirty with lots of graffiti (although I learnt through Google that some of this is purposeful street art which the area is known for) but there are an abundance of restaurants, bakeries and shops nearby, including multiple supermarkets and vegan restaurants. I particularly recommend the restaurant, Primeur, for the food and service and the bakery, Le Petit Grain, for their focaccia - both are right outside the apartment! We never felt unsafe in the area and the street itself is quiet so it is possible to have windows open during the day and night without being disturbed too much. The transport links are very convenient and one of the best things about the apartment: the metro station is a minute away. Ludovic provided detailed printed information about the apartment and nearby recommendations on our arrival and kindly met us from the metro to show us where the apartment is.
