Phillipe was an ideal host. I wish I could give him 10 stars for convenience of arrival; I arrived at the red door without a printout or a functioning phone with his directions for entry; Philippe went to considerable lengths to see that Rita and I were smoothly accommodated. The studio is small, but beautifully designed with great attention to detail, and with quality appliances. The location is spectacular; it is an easy stroll to Notre Dame, The Pompidou Center, the Louvre, and the Left Bank. I did not realize when I booked the stay, that given its close proximity to the Châtelet-Les Halles station, it is on a lovely square which is traffic-free, a definite selling point!
