Philippe is a busy host as he has so many properties to operate. The place I rented was in the center of Paris. Super spot but the apartment itself was now well maintained. No linning for the second bed. The showerhead was leaking. Toilet itself didn't hold the water so it was running all the time. I mentioned it all to Philippe. He promised me to fix it, but the problems were not solved during my stay. No soap to wash hands as to come from the airport. It would be nice and cheap for the host to provide such a thing. Anyways one positive thing about interaction with Philippe- he exchanged the broket kettle next day, which was very helpful. Talking over the phone was not pleasant at all. Only locating is great! The building where the Lev Tolstoy used to stay!
