Philippe's place is such a find. The flat is very spacious by Paris standards (there is even a great bathtub!) and everything was very clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. Yes there are a lot of stairs but they are all worth it for the amazing views and light. A few reviews have mentioned the noise but it is just standard city noise so I didn't find it disturbing at all. Philippe was there to greet me and even carried my luggage up the stairs and left a bottle of wine. Overall a great experience and I hope to be able to stay there again next time I am in Paris.
