Highly recommended for several reasons:
1. Location - 3 minute walk to L’Arc de Triomphe where, aside from the obvious, you have access to the metro station connecting you with the rest of Paris. It’s also where Champs-Élysées starts - be it for shopping or sidewalk cafes/restaurants.
It’s also close to less busy but equally beautiful streets that hide beautiful & more intimate restaurants (like Avenue Kléber) as well as nifty and less busy stores.
Convenient thing - right across the street you have Franprix supermarket and a little bakery. Real life savers if you don’t feel like going for a walk and need food right away.
2. Safety - 16th arrondissement is probably the safest place in Paris. It’s packed with embassies and institutions that require safe location in the city (especially after recent events with the protests).
3. Host - Maybe I should have started with this because it is essential. Laurent (Philippe’s friend) was taking care of me during my stay. He was very prompt in his replies (just like Philippe), he offered valuable advice and answered all the questions patiently, no matter how big, small or ridiculous they were (like Where to buy good babka in Paris).
4. Space - The place is exactly as it is in photos. One of the couches turns into a huge bed so, with the bed in the bedroom, it can easily host at least 4 people. It was a bit nippy in Paris at the time so we used the heaters that warmed the space up in no time. If you are sensitive to the cold, it’s good to have slippers because the floors are wooden and not covered (I always travel with mine).
All in all, 5 star place with 5 star hosts!
