I truly think there could not be a better apartment to experience Paris in than this. Chris’ place had everything I needed for an awesome week’s stay, with a vast living room full of art and books, a cozy bedroom, a small but efficient kitchen and shower and a beautiful decor all across. Welcoming me in the middle of the night, Chris gave me a quick tour of the apartment and even though it was late he devoted the time to sit down with me and explain about Paris’ different arrondissements, expanding on the recommendation list he already provided prior to my arrival. Waking up the next morning revealed just how much the apartment is well located, tucked in a very well kept building with a nice courtyard at the non-touristic part of chick Montmartre. All while still being a stone’s throw away from the Metro station, this allowed me to experience Paris by foot and to arrive back quickly after a long day’s strolling using this city’s great public transportation. Communication was smooth at all times, and we even had the chance to hang out together with his friends at a lovely coffee shop at Le Marais. This is the first time for me in Paris, and surely not the last - Not in Paris, and not in Chris’ apartment! VERY RECOMMENDED.
