Phillipe was very pleasant and hospitable.
The apartment is in a lively area of the 5th arr., especially at night, but is set back from the street and so is mostly quiet. The price presumably reflects the cost of real estate here; it does not buy luxury. You are getting a basic pied-à-terre in Paris. A spray was provided for the flying insects that entered if we left the window open. The air conditioner is the windowless type (sits on the floor like a dehumidifier), with the hot air exhaust vent tucked into the fireplace chimney.
When we received wee-hours notification of a significantly delayed flight, we texted Phillipe and easily arranged a delay in the departure time.
