Philippe was extremely helpful and provided us with many tips and spent some time with us to give us some personalised advice on things to see in Paris and where, and how to navigate the Metro, and RER which was vital for getting around. He helped us out with all our problems, and provided a lot of information which I am sorry I didn't read before getting to Paris!

The apartment is well located - close to the big stations gare du l'est and gare du nord (for RER) and the Metro station gare d'eau is located nearby, for quick transport anywhere in Paris. There are plenty of places to eat including cheap food - Plat du jour 5 euros!
