The apartment was fantastic! It was close to everything we wanted to see, and when it wasn't, the metro was a short walk away. It was close to an amazing bakery (Gosselin), and there were several good restaurants nearby. Philippe was a wonderful host and even stopped by to make sure we were all settled in! He gave us some great tips for eating and shopping, which we wouldn't have known otherwise.
Bottom line: Great host, great apartment, great location. We'd definitely stay here again!
