What everyone says about Philippe is true, he's great! My fiancé and I felt we had a great french experience because of our stay at Philippe's apartment. We arrived very early in the morning and he was generous enough to let us check in and had the room ready. After showing us around the apartment, he was quick to offer us something to drink and eat. The room has a nice neighborhood view and is very quiet. The bed is firm, but comfortable. Overall, Philippe is a wonderful host and you won't regret staying here.
