Philippe is the perfect host: He brought croissants and baguette every morning, complete with marmalade, butter - the works! This was the start to each day of our 2 weeks in Philippe's studio. The studio's location in the 5th Arrondisment proved to be perfect. It's an easy walk to the Seine, and there are many things to do right in the neighborhood, e.g., The Arab Cultural Center and the Jardin des Plantes. The Jusieu Metro stop is about a 2 minute walk. The area is safe and clean with a large variety of small cafe's. The studio is small and looks just like the listing. It is clean and adequate. You will find it a nice place to relax at the end of your day of enjoying Paris. Last, but not least, Philippe and his gracious wife, Isabelle, invited us to dinner one evening. It was a wonderful time with a delicious meal and pleasant conversation. They both speak English and are always helpful and available to answer questions.
