I cannot adequately describe how wonderful Philippe’s place is. There were 9 of us (4 adults, 5 kids ranging from 10 to 15), and I was shocked and skeptical when we found this place, well within our budget and in a great area. But we needn’t have worried. It is as wonderful as the reviews suggest.
The house itself is a large converted building, somewhat industrial in look and feel. Four of the floors have bedrooms and the last two are the kitchen and living areas. The top floor, with its gorgeous fireplace and terrace is magical. The house is also stocked with everything you need and is complete with whimsical yet elegant decor.
The neighborhood is also great. Mostly locals (which we prefer), with tons of bars and restaurants and stores nearby. The metro is super close, and if you like to walk, it’s a 20 min walk to many places, including the Marais.
I can’t recommend the house or Philippe enough!
