Many thanks to Philippe for letting us his flat. Our dealings with his contact people were smooth and efficient. The flat is a delight!! Clean, cozy, warm, quiet, light, and very stylish. The neighborhood, just steps from rue Montorgueil and centrally located within a short walk from Les Halles, the Marais, and the Centre Pompidou, is vibrant and exciting with wonderful food and wine shops, cafes, and restos. Being able to cook in the tiny, but well supplied kitchenette, with all the wonderful ingredients one can buy in Paris makes for a pleasant break from restaurant dining that is good body and wallet alike. Oh, and savoring a cup of coffee in the morning along with a fresh croissant or baguette (delivered by one's traveling companion) is a great way to start the day off leisurely while planning the day's adventures. Even the wi-fi worked faultlessly. Everything was top notch here at Philippe's. We'd return in a heartbeat!
