Chris' apartment is very conveniently located. Walkable (about 20 mins) to Notre Dame and lots of cafes/restaurant and City Express Supermarket (part Carrefour). Chinese restaurants (cheap and good) nearby at rue de Maire (Chez Shen, L Art Ravioli, Au bon Pho).
The apartment, although small but with enough space for 3 of us. It is very well equipped and he managed to maximise the space with lots of shelves and cupboards. The courtyard is good space for outdoor dining/relaxation but we didnt really use because of the cold weather. We cooked several meals in the apartment. He has books on Paris including one for shopping in Paris (much appreciated). The sofa bed is comfy and the loft is just right size and private. Lighting in the apartment is adequate. The bathroom is abit small though.
During our stay, the internet was down due to problems with the provider so we are unable to access the tv and wifi/computer but Chris through Rafael, the property manager kindly provided us with the password for the city wifi which can be used all over Paris (abit slow though but adequate). Hope to stay again with Chris when we return to Paris.
