We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Christian's. The neighborhood was full of good restaurants, markets, shops and a beautiful large park is close by. Especially one street north for shops and bakery and we loved the nearby African fusion restaurant. The metro was very close as well. While it takes about 20 min to get to city center via metro, we enjoyed coming "home" to a more quiet section of the city. We felt very safe.
Christian's home was large and comfortable. There is a lot of natural light. The windows and plants made it very cozy and offered cool views of Parisian life. Our one year old had plenty of space to crawl/walk around (but it's not baby proofed- which we didn't expect, just fyi). The bed was comfortable and Christian was kind in letting us borrow a porta crib. The shower is very large and comfortable too. He has fun art and collectables that make it obvious he's sharing his home with you. The kitchen was well equipped and the washer worked well. And there are laundromat nearby if you need to wash and dry your clothes quickly. The elevator was super helpful!
Christian had us communicate with a neighbor through Whatapp, which I was hesitant about, but it worked out without issue! We had a wonderful time at Christian's!
