Pascal is a fine host and his place is very clean and comfortable. We like the multi-ethnic neighborhood and the easy access to the subway and busses. The view from the balcony really looks that good! If you want organic groceries, there is a store close by. Ask Pascal to show you. Parc Buttes de Chamont is not far and is very beautiful; you might also enjoy the huge open market on Tuesdays, Thursday, and Saturdays at Plac des Fetes.
