The view at Philippe’s is incredible and this is why we chose to stay here for our first visit to Paris. It did not disappoint. The proximity to the Eiffel tour is amazing. The place itself is small but we did not intend to spend much time at the flat. We just wanted a clean place to sleep with the great view. The bed is a pullout couch. This is a compromise we had to make for the location. It was pretty well worn unfortunately, but with our jet lag we slept fine. We never met Philippe but he was readily available via phone and email as needed. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend to low maintenance people who want to enjoy this view before they go to sleep and when they wake up in Paris.
