Philipp was a fantastic host and his studio apartment was spectacular. The apartment was conveniently located less that two blocks from the metro station, and just about as close to the Louvre. If you don't mind spending the day on your feet, almost everything is within walking distance. The restaurants, bakery, and bars nearby all had excellent food and service and the staff were incredibly helpful and patiently with a non French speaking tourist. Philipp was very kind and helpful as well, meeting me for check in late on the night of my arrival. He gave me a thorough explanation of everything that I needed to know about the studio apartment, and was generous enough to include free long distance calling should I need to get a hold of anyone back home during my visit. Philipp even gave me some great information about getting to the airport for my departure flight that saved me a good chunk of money versus simply hiring a cab. I would definitely stay here again, and will recommend the apartment to any of my friends that are interested in visiting the beautiful City of Lights!
