I did not meet Philippe but the correspondence was always very clear with quick reply time before and after I moved in and he sent me messages to make sure I had everything and was settling in fine. He organised Alice to meet me on my arrival day. The apartment is comfortable and very clean with all you need during your stay (kitchen appliance, nespresso machine with coffee capsules for your arrival), good shower and comfortable bed overlooking the green back side condo garden. The terrace is huge and a plus for an apartment in Paris. The area 15 arrondissement is safe and a true local life is waiting for you with bakery, butcher, cafes at your door step. Champs de Mars and Eiffel Tower are less than 10mn walk as well as 2 Metro stations to access different parts of Paris . Do not look further if you wish to experience the Parisian way of living and book Philippe's place.
