First I must talk about the neighborhood because the 16 arrondissement is THE fancy place to stay where many famous people live. The building is an old hotel particulier that has been modernized fit with a state of the art elevator but kept the magnificent wood paneling of the stairs. The apartment is a studio so brilliantly decorated with a lot of care and love. It has absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay as long as you are not planning to cook very elaborate meals. It is such a great place and only hope that whomever stays there is careful enough to keep the place so clean and beautiful as Philippine has made it. Communication with Phillipine is straightforward and either her or her friend Alexandra are very helpful and friendly.
