Philippe was an amazing host. We missed our train in the morning from London and had to change our arrival at the last minute which he graciously allowed. The apartment was much larger than we imagined and would be perfect for two couples traveling together or even a family. As far as location, it's a 4 min walk to the Gare de Nord train station so it was incredibly convenient and is very close to multiple other metro lines. Also, for foodies like ourselves, it's a straight shot to Frenchie's which is a must.
