Our stay at Philippe's place was mixed. We liked the appartment a lot. Location is great, especially for people travelling by train to Gare du Nord. Communication with host is also good and everything was clearly stated before we arrived and in the appartment rules. The thing that mixed whole experience for us was unreliable water on our 3rd day - we didn't really know why there is no water sometimes. Lack of water was especially difficult because there was 32 degress outside that day. And on 4th day in the morning there was no water at all... and that was just before we checked out. We don't know what happened and our host was surprised too. Lack of water is our only disappointment in this flat.
