We had a lovely stay in Philippines. The apartment was well equipped with utensils if we wanted to cook. It was clean and had sufficient space for 2 - we felt right at home. The location was so great, we were on a strip with plenty of restaurants, shops, and bars all within walking distance which made it easier to get around. The speakers were also a great touch, making it much nicer! We would definitely be back if we are in Paris again.
