Renter comments/reviews:
From August 2019: "The apartment was just lovely. It was spacious yet cozy; charming yet modern; and in a lively yet tranquil neighborhood. It had everything that I needed and the owners responded immediately whenever I reached out with a question. They were wonderful to work with and made my stay in Belleville effortless--just like home. I highly recommend this apartment. Excellent"

Another recent renter: "I must take this opportunity to thank you for making your apartment available to us. We are enjoying the comfort, the quietness, the ambiance, the decor and the spaciousness - as well as those essential practical things. such as plentiful coat hangers, sharp kitchen knives, coffee on arrival, a supply of soap/toilet paper an efficient kitchen and best of all - the WIFI. This is truly a wonderful place to stay."

Another wrote: "Apartment is every bit as charming as we'd expected and very well equipped; we might stay forever!...We spend chunks of the day with family and return happy but tired to our elegant apartment. We really appreciate the well equipped kitchen as we both enjoy cooking with the fresh ingredients from the market and the well stocked pantry...We took friends on "le grand tour" of the apartment and they were simply awe struck."

Another renter said "Just wanted to let you know that all 4 of us have made it to your apartment and it looks fantastic."

This safe 'village' in the 19th arrondissement has become one of the 'in' spots among Parisians, including "Bobos" (Bourgeois Bohemians). Our beautiful 65 square meter (~700 square feet) apartment has been remodeled and sleeps 4 but is most comfortable for 2. There is a master bedroom and private salon that easily converts to a 2nd bedroom or can be used as a cozy living room. The dining room is together with, as the French say, an "American kitchen". The apartment is roomy, and full of light from large arched windows overlooking a farmers market held three days a week, convenient for getting all your ingredients for preparing Haute Cuisine meals.

The apartment is located on the 5th floor of a 1928 Haussmannian building with lift. The building is accessible only with 2018 updated security badge entry system. The neighborhood is situated between three parks, including Parc de Belleville (which many say has the 2nd best view of Paris, after Montmartre's Sacre Coeur) and Parc des Buttes-Chaumont.

You'll appreciate the cozy, village environment, with restaurants (including Le Baratin, to which chefs all over Paris clamor for lunch and featured on a Anthony Bourdain episode, Le Mistral, named in Conde Nast's Top 50 in Paris), boulangeries (including one of "top 10" of Paris - Au 140), fromageries, boucheries, wine shops, fruit and produce merchants and much more. Either eat out in one of the neighborhood's terrific cafes, bistros or restaurants or eat in, cooking with "only in Paris" ingredients from the Marché, literally across the street (open Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays with produce, fish, meat, cheese, breads and pastries, etc.) or neighborhood shops! A "foodie"/gourmet's delight! The apartment has high-speed WiFi Internet, free phone calls to North America and Europe, and large HDTV with European and English-language cable channels (CNN, BBC, SkyNews, etc.). Photos and more information are available upon request.
