My daughter (almost 11 years old, this trip was for her birthday) and I had a lovely time in Paris and in Philippe’s appartment. He replied very quickly whenever we had a question. The pictures are a good representation of the appartment (which is not big but very nice and stylish) and we really felt at home. We slept in the mezzanine which may be less suited for small children as the ladder is quite steep. But I understand that the couch is also a fold-out bed (which we didn’t use). There is a light outside that goes off and on during the night but you won’t notice it if you lower the electric black-out ‘screen’ and if you close the curtains in front of the door. The appartment is located in a street with lots of little cafés. Right next door is Marlette where my daughter loved the pancakes with avocado, bacon, eggs, cream cheese and maple syrup. The appartment is about a 12-15 minute walk from Gare du Nord and the metro station Poissonnière is close by, which is very convenient. All in all, I would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Philippe!
