Philippe's apartment is close to so many wonderful things - a cheese shop right downstairs, a beautiful church across the street, a book store two doors down, and too many shops and restaurants within a stone's throw to mention here. We never took metro as it was so easy to walk every where from this central location.
Pros:
Exceptional location, can't be beat
Lovely furniture, china & silver - charmingly decorated in a very efficient space
Smell of fresh bread baking throughout the day & church bells ringing...
Many books in multiple languages both about the local scene and just for light reading
Excellent wifi
Fantastic customer service from beginning to end - communications all along
Accurate pictures and descriptions
Cons:
Stairs were fine for me & my children - that said, it would be difficult for seniors, children under 5, carrying strollers, or anyone very overweight or with health problems. I had some challenges bringing our luggage up & down the stairs.
Beds were adequate but not very comfortable, could use softer pillows but perhaps that is a personal preference
A lot of noise in the early morning - several buildings nearby are getting reconstruction but that may just be a temporary situation
Thanks again to Phillipe and his fantastic team! We loved our visit!!
