My friend and I stayed in Philippe's apartment for nine days. The apartment is well situated in the 13th arrondisement with a metro stop just a block or so away. We found it to be very convenient. The 23rd floor apartment also has beautiful views of Paris with floor to ceiling windows in the living room and bedroom. The apartment is very spacious, much larger than we expected. There are several grocery stores nearby. We were able to buy food and prepare our breakfasts each morning. We also found the apartment to be very well priced. Finally, Philippe communicated well about the apartment and had a friendly, helpful friend of his meet us for our arrival and check-out.
