Philippe and Lise are wonderful hosts and they have thoughtfully set up the apartment to make it turnkey for visitors including directions on how to use the washer and where to take the trash. Our family enjoyed their apartment as our base of operations as we visited Paris. We almost exclusively used the Metro to see the sites and it's a 10 minute walk and two buses pick up right outside the apartment. We had my husband and I along with our twenty year old daughter and we were very comfortable. I only hope to get to return to Paris again and would love to stay here again. PS make sure you try both of the nearby bakeries.
