Philippe was a marvelous host! Since we were first time Airbnb travelers, we probably had more questions than most. Philippe always answered quickly and warmly. The apartment's location was wonderful - very close to metro stations and landmarks. There was a grocery store and boulangerie directly across the street for breakfast items, snacks, and beverages. Philippe's daughter met us at the apartment and she was wonderful, even though we were late due to our delayed flight.

Just a few things to be aware of:
The apartment is on the second floor and there is no elevator. It's a long walk up those steps with your luggage after traveling all day.

There are no screens on the windows. We had no problems, but it was surprising.

The apartment is not air conditioned and was a little stuffy when we returned from our sightseeing even though the weather was on the cool side. It could be quite warm in hot weather.

The bathroom area is quite small. It's fine for 2 people, but our group of 4 had to make a schedule!
