Philippe took us in after a sudden cancellation and was kind and attentive to our needs. The apartment is small but cosy; other comments about the walls being thin are very true but it wasn't too disruptive. One of the chairs was broken but had already been replaced. New pillows were sofa pillows, not bed pillows, but were usable. One of the bed lights doesn't work and the radiator is falling out of the wall but these weren't disruptive. The shower and toilet worked well and the kitchen was comfortable to use. With Saint Ambroise and Richard Lenoit metro stops very close by and with lots of shops and bars, Philippe's place was ideally located to take full advantage of Bastille, Le Marais, and Paris at large, and a reasonably comfortable place to return to for rest.
