We had a great stay at Chris' place. I love the location just up the street from Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, my favorite park in Paris. It's close to both the 7bis and 11 Metro lines, so getting around was easy. There are several good restaurants in walking distance, a couple of grocery stores, and a good bakery at the intersection of Rue de Villette and Rue de Belleville.
The apartment is clean and comfortable. All the appliances are good, including a clothes washer and dryer, and the bathroom has a great shower. The bed and furniture are comfortable, and after a long day of walking it was wonderful to have an elevator up the apartment.
Chris was quick to respond to all our questions and made us feel at home.
