We had a terrific experience with this rental - Philippe was organized, responsive and very helpful. The apartment was fully-equipped and included operating manuals for every appliance in English and French, and Philippe provided maps to restaurants, services, and grocery stores. The location was perfect - truly "in the heart of Paris", 2 blocks from the Louvre and walking distance to great food and shopping. We were delighted with the apartment, which is every bit as nice as it looks in the photos. One word of caution: the staircase to the apartment is narrow and winding - not good for those who have trouble with stairs.
