Philippe's apartment is conveniently located near restaurants, some attractions and ways to get around! The apartment had all we needed except hand soap in the bathroom. Otherwise it is simply but adequately furnished. Another plus is that the apartment, while being in a busy area, is on the inside of the building and was quiet! We were happy about that! We would happily return to Philippe's apartment when in Paris again! For some who struggle with stairs or small spaces you need to know that the apartment is on the 4th floor (no elevator) but the steps are low so it wasn't too difficult. The bathroom is very compact!
