Philippe’s apartment is very spacious and light, and the location is lovely.
However, while I was there at the end of November 2022 there were renovations occurring on the lower levels. Apart from the scaffolding half way up the windows, we could not sleep in past 7:30 in the morning because of the noise of power tools.
Also, for that time of year when it is quite cold in Paris, he needed to provide warmer bedding. The heating in the apartment is not enough to keep warm at night and the doona provided was very thin or old and threadbare.
Even though he claims that his response time is one hour, he did not respond to my request for more blankets or an extra doona for about 48 hours, by which time it was too late in my stay to be helpful.
For the asking price, some little comforts, like coffee pods, milk, bottled water, enough toilet paper, etc, could be included.
