Hi there! We're 2x female travelers from Canada and were very pleased with Philippe's apartment. It was very clean and in a great location. Right outside the private courtyard are a few great Cafe's to start your day off right. At the end of the road is the Metro to get you anywhere you want to be...but if you brought your walking shoes, you can do a lot on foot as well.
The place isn't huge, but every space has form and function that we felt it very spacious. Even the loft bed has 1/2 walls so that you have some privacy when you just need some "space" from your travel companion :)
