Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed staying at Philippe's place. The apartment was very clean, spacious, updated, comfortable, and well-stocked with a washer/dryer and pillows, bedding, and kitchen utensils and cookware. We felt we lucked out by staying here! There are three grocery stores on the block, including a large, higher-end grocery store directly beside the apartment building. The apartment is on the sixth floor and the elevator is very small but we enjoyed the higher-level views and open air and watching all the activity of the locals living in Paris! Philippe was responsive and very nice, and instructions were well laid-out. We stayed in the summer and it was hot.
