Yannick was a super host - really friendly and accommodating. Getting the keys was easy as we had been in touch before our stay. His apartment is in a nice location and was an area of Paris that I hadn't visited before. The Butte de Chaumont park is worth a visit either for a stroll around the lake, or for the more energetic for a jog round, and the bars in the park are really nice if you want to have a drink in the afternoon or evening, in the sunshine or inside. We went to Le Pavillon Puebla (nice atmosphere) as the Rosa Bonheur was closed. There is a really tasty and reasonably priced Thai restaurant 49 rue Belleville (a short walk from the apartment) called Lao Siam. The apartment was clean and pleasant to be in. It feels bigger than it is and is in an quiet square off the busier street Simon Bolivar. Plenty of shops around to buy groceries. Enjoy your stay!
