Philippe's place was perfect, my wife and I immediately felt at home. It was clean, quiet, and a charming location for our week in Paris. Philippe's friend met us outside, she was super helpful and we quickly got settled. He even left us some helpful hand written guides on how to use his appliances, and some information on the neighborhood which we appreciated a lot. It was a nice gesture to welcome us to the apartment. We were only blocks away from the Seine (Batobus!), the Metro station, restaurants, stores, etc and everything was just easy. When it was time to leave, we texted with Philippe for final arragements, he was a very gracious host. My wife and I are already thinking about when we could return.
