Philipe's son Jerome was at the apartment to greet us. When our slightly delayed flight arrived Jerome was easy to contact and both were so helpful in arranging a child minder and finding a doctor when my wife was unwell.
The apartment is very comfortable with a lovely living room and dining area. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is very spacious. We we really appreciated the ample closet space for our our clothes. The kitchen area is small, but is well equipped for those who may desire a simple meal when a break from the wonderful french restaurants may be needed.

Place Dauphine is a beautiful space and a despite having several restaurants outside is a relatively quiet and peaceful oasis for such a central location . It's great for exploring either Bank, a short walk to Saint Chapelle and the Concierge, and a pleasant stroll to Notre Dame or the Louvre. We really enjoyed watching the petanque players during the summer evenings. It gave the apartment a real neighborhood feeling and a special sense of being in Paris.
