The apartment was beautiful and recently redone. The location was great too, love having a view over the rooftops. There is a lift, but it doesn't take you all the way to the flat, there still is a final staircase to walk up, so if you have heavy suitcases or are traveling with a baby and stroller (as we were), you will want to factor this into your decision. Philippe was helpful and a good communicator, but we arrived late so his house cleaner let us in.
