Philippe’s place is in an excellent location, which was very convenient for exploring the city. The place was as appears in the photos - simple, economical and tidy. A decent option if you plan to spend most of the day out in the city. The bed was comfortable for a good sleep.
However, we were disappointed that when we arrived, the wi-fi was not working (and also the TV), which we needed to use to do trip planning during our stay. We weren’t told in advance that this would be the case, and while Philippe apologised for the inconvenience when we mentioned it, we weren’t offered any solution, so we didn’t have access to it for the whole stay.
Otherwise, check-in was easy with the instructions Philippe provided via email, and we found him to be a welcoming host.
