The apartment is charming, clean and well equipped for a comfortable stay. The location is excellent- central to all things in Paris, and we fell in love with the bustling neighborhood. Shops, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets all nearby make it feel extra homey. We did not get to meet Philippe but he gave us clear instructions on checking in and out on our own since our arrival to Paris was late in the evening and our departure was early in the morning. We hope that his apartment will be available on our next visit to the city of lights. 5 stars all the way!
