Philippe was very prompt in his communication during the booking process. The apartment is in a great location, very close to the etienne marcel metro & walking distance from the louvre & marais neighborhoods. Good eating places closeby. It is a third floor walk up. The apartment was just as depicted in the pictures. Kitchen was reasonably equipped. Wi-fi worked well. It was very well priced & Philippe was kind enough to reimburse a token amount for checking out early on our last day. The caretaker, Ms Sabine was available & very helpful. Only drawback was the seemingly popular bar on the same street where the noise did go on into the wee hours.
