Philippe is a wonderful host. The apartment exceeded our expectations. It is well located, in a secure building and is very well appointed. It had more inclusions than expected, including dishwasher, washing machine/dryer, cable TV, spacious bedroom, good sized bathroom and a coffee machne which makes great coffee. He made himself available to meet us on arrival, to contact him if there were any problems (there were none) and to farewell us on departure. He has very clear instructions on how to operate everything in the apartment and tips on local restaurants, shopping, transport etc. We could not have asked for a better host or apartment to help make our first visit to Paris very special. We would have no hesitation in recommending Philippe and his apartment to others or in staying there again if we are lucky enough to return to Paris in the future.
