Philippe was a wonderful host. It was very refreshing to deal with such a kind and accommodating person. Philippe responded to any questions I had immediately- even gave me restaurant and shopping suggestions. Kept me informed about what the neighborhood had to offer. I was traveling solo, and he made my stay very comfortable. He even was nice enough to carry my luggage to and from the apartment for me :) The apartment was beautiful. Others mentioned it being small- however it is a standard European apartment size. Can fit 4ppl but I would say 1-2 would be ideal for maximum comfort. But lets face it- you don't travel to Paris to stay inside. Prime location!- restaurants- cafes-shopping.. all right at your doorstep. Walk down the cobblestone street to a center square surrounded by bistros- perfect for people watching. With all that being said, I highly recommend Philippe as a host.
