Based on all the other reviews I had read up to choosing Philippe as a host, I was pretty confident in wanting to stay with him, and as it turns out - this was for good reason!

He's an excellent host. A considerate, generous and gracious man who goes out of his way to make your stay the best it can be. He provided breakfast, clean towels, tea, bottled water, amidst other things he also helped identify the local area to you and things to do in the city.
His apartment is lovely. Very well situated and exceptionally clean and tidy. As my friend and I are in our mid 20's, we often didn't arrive home until early hours of the morning, however this wasn't an issue with Philippe at all (considering we kept quiet of course!) which was comforting to know we weren't pressurised curfew-wise.

All in all I thoroughly recommend staying with him. It made my first time in Paris very enjoyable, it's great to know that at the end of a long day out in the city you have somewhere clean, comfortable and well situated to rest your head

Stay with Philippe - You won't regret it.
