Mr. Philippe was a great host, and the apartment is in a great location. The metro station is less than 5 minutes from the apartment plus there are plenty of cafe, shops, and pharmacies around. The metro line 8 and line 6 provides direct access to most of the popular spots including Eiffel Tower, Bastille, Opera, and Champs Elysees. Mr. Philippe was also very nice and made breakfast for my wife and I every morning. He was also a great source for information on where to go, and how to get there. I recommend him, and his apartment. Based on the location this apartment will be our first choice for next Paris visit.
