Both Philippe and Paula were a delight to deal with. Philippe was out of town when we arrived, so Paula met us at the apartment. Although she does not speak English, she was pleasant and was able to show us everything in the apartment. The space is very well taken care of, and was well furnished. It exactly matched the description, and we could not have been happier to stay there. We met Philippe halfway through our week stay, and he was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. The kitchen had plenty of working space for us to cook breakfasts and dinners, and we had easy access to a variety of cafes and bars just outside the front door. The 2-block walk to the Louvre is as easy as can be, and basically all of Paris can be walked from this location. I highly recommend this location to anyone traveling to Paris, and I sincerely hope I will be staying there again in the future.
