Philippe's place, though small and cozy, has everything you need for a stay in Paris! It is very well connected to the metro system. There is a metro stop right around the corner and Garre Saint Lazare is a short walk away for connections to long train rides outside of the city and to the airport. It was very easy to get around and the apartment is very close to Montmarte. There are plenty of places to eat nearby.
We found that the bed was comfortable and Philippe made a great use of the space. The stairs are a little narrow, but it is not too bad if you are leaving for the day and have to climb them just once a day.
The apartment also had chromecast, which was a nice touch and allowed us to watch netflix at the end of a long day.
Philippe's place is a good way to get an authentic Paris experience given the way the apartment has been converted into a modern space with the special toilet and bathroom setup. We found that his place was perfect for what we needed and would recommend it to friends looking for a good value in the city.
