We really enjoyed our stay at Philippe's place. The location was really wonderful with a lot of cafes and shops nearby. The view off the balcony is amazing. The 86 steps to the apartment were really no problem at all. The neighborhood felt very safe. We walked most of the places we went, and used the metro a few times as well.
The kitchen is very, very small. We used it minimally as there were so many options of places to eat. We did make hot drinks there and the kitchen is well suited for that.
Philippe was excellent with his communication.
We would definitely consider staying there again.
