Philippe's apartment is in a fantastic, central location for navigating the city within a short walk of a major metro stop. The apartment itself is well stocked and we had access to everything we needed to have a great trip. There's a grocery store within a block or two of the house where you can buy deli items, groceries, house supplies, clothes, et cetera (akin to a US Target store). The apartment has wonderful light (and light blocking curtains for a good night sleep) and comfortable, yet spacious living space.
