Philippe's place is in a FANTASTIC location - you can walk to the Louvre, the Centre Pompidou, and right out the door you have fabulous restaurants, little shops, pedestrian streets... it's terrific. Place itself is quite basic (no dining table or dining chairs, minimum IKEA furnishings and pretty worn items, but we didn't come to Paris to sit around the apartment), but in a really pretty old building. Quiet at night - windows great in terms of keeping noise out. Super fabulous communication with Philippe and Arnaud, who stayed in touch continuously and who were right there when we got there. Would stay here again! Thanks.
