Philippe’s place was great. Right before I leave for a trip, I always get nervous and start to second guess the place I booked based on one or two negative reviews...and as always, I did that here.
However, I have no idea how anyone could leave Philippe’s place a bad review. The location is the best, the bed was comfortable, the shower didn’t leak (as some mentioned- perhaps it was fixed), and the host was very easy to get in touch with. There was a mildew smell in the bathroom from time to time, but if you run the sink it goes away. I mean, the building is about 100 years, so I get it.
If you’re looking to experience Paris like a local- in a great location, with a comfortable bed, and kind host- then Philippe’s place will give you that.
