Lovely studio in the Belleville district

This apartment is in a fantastic location, just one minute from the metro, which makes it incredibly easy to get around and explore Paris. Even though it is so close to public transport, the apartment faces the other direction, so it stays very quiet and peaceful. The neighbourhood was honestly the best I have stayed in so far in Paris. It feels like real Paris, where you meet real people and experience the city beyond the usual tourist areas, while still having amazing food, great music venues, and a beautiful park nearby. The apartment itself is small, but very well organized, extremely clean, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The balcony is a great bonus and adds a lot of charm. If your plan is to explore the city, this place is more than enough and is ideal for a solo traveler or a couple. It also felt very welcoming and LGBTQ+ friendly, which made the stay even more comfortable. Baptist was a wonderful host: very communicative, warm, and genuinely kind. He gave me excellent recommendations for food, drinks, bars, LGBTQ+ spots, and local places to visit. A real highlight is that Baptist is also an expert in art. I highly recommend asking him about the art tour he can provide. He is extremely knowledgeable, a professional art historian, and he took me to places I never would have discovered on my own. Overall, a fantastic stay, especially for LGBTQ+ travelers, and highly recommended.
