I recommend Philippe’s place if you would like to experience a bit of an authentic life in Paris. The location in 15 arrondissement is not for tourists, but offers a variety of excellent French cultures, such as good local restaurants/bistros, small shops like bakery, flower shop and bookshop etc. Twice a week, the street market opens on rue de la Convention. On Sunday, the second-hand book market opens in Parc George Brassens, which is a lovely local park. Even though there is no TV in this property, you would enjoy staying here on a rainy day, because all the rooms are comfortably decorated. Philippe was very friendly and welcoming.
