We have stayed as guests of Philippe before. His apartment suits us perfectly. It's a great location for us and it's super quiet and easy to use. It has certain amenities that come in REAL handy when you're staying in Paris for more than a couple of weeks: namely proper laundry, with a good washing machine and a full size dryer. The kitchen is also fully functional for making breakfast or the occasional dinner in on Sundays when the better bistros are closed.
