Philippe is an excellent host. He received us with a binder with all of the information we could need, not only regarding the apartment, but also the neighborhood, getting around Paris, places to visit, restaurants, etc.
The apartment was just as shown in the photos. Aside from being in very good condition and comfortable for a family of 6, it was charming and an excellent experience on its own. The neighborhood has everything you might need in terms of supermarkets and restaurants. The metro is nearby and within 20 minutes you can be at the Louvre!
