Philippe & Julie's place was minimal, cozy, clean, and perfect. The walkup had everything I needed for a weekend getaway from NYC. I forgot to pack toothpaste and found the bathroom was stocked. The floor mattress was comfy. The antique mirror was a subtle touch. The window view was nice. But the location was perfect -- central, walking distance from the seine, the bouquinistes, the local bakery, the louvre, the cafes, the gardens. Philippe was accommodating and quick to respond to my messages about checking in, waiting for me to arrive from CDG, and checking out early so I could catch my Monday morning flight.
