Hi Kate,

I wish you luck with house hunting. It can sometimes be quite difficult to find something here, but we got lucky and found a large apartment quite easily. Champel is nice as it is only 7 minutes away from the city centre (by bus) or 20 minutes on foot and very green and quiet. There are lots of shops on the Rue de Florissant and the park Bertrand is also very close (good for children and very safe).
