Philippe is a very friendly and lovely host. We were allowed to check in and out at any time, and to leave our luggage at his place during our last day in paris which was nice. He made us breakfast with coffee or tea, baguette and jam every morning (at a time of our choice) and had some tips for our daily trips in paris.
The appartement and specificly the bathroom were very tidy and Philippe prepared some towels for us which was very obligingly.
We had some tea, instant coffee and an electric kettle in our room with two cups so we were able to drink something hot at any time :) (btw: you can drink tab water in paris 👍🏼). Philippe has a huge amount of city and subway maps as well as city guides for paris in the bedroom for guests :)
With the subway you are within 10-15 minutes in the city centre (depending on your destination)
All in all it was a great stay at a low cost so you should definetly give it a try! :)
