While we weren't able to meet with Chris in person, he made arrangements for us to pick up the keys despite a very early arrival. The apartment itself is fantastic and in a great location, and also offers a breathtaking view of Paris' rooftops and the Eiffel Tower.

Directly below is a delicious restaurant, Le Petit Parisien, and right next to it and across the street (they have two locations) is Tentazioni with amazing Italian food. And on the corner at the top of the street near the moulin (windmill) is a fantastic bar with great beers on tap and terrific food.

We had a great time relaxing in the main room and enjoying being in the heart of Montmartre. The only note is that there is a LOT of stair climbing in this apartment, but that's fine because it allows you to work off all of that delicious French food you'll be eating. We loved staying here and would do it all over again! Living like a local is the best way to experience a city.
