I will attempt to give a short/complete review of Philip & Emma’s flat. If I had to sum it up in 1 word, a few would be – Fantastic! Super! Amazing! Awesome!
We arrived from the USA, depending on reviews of the place, so it’s always a gamble. The pictures really do tell the story, this was a very clean, spacious flat which was perfect for our family of 4. There are a couple books that they put together that tells you about the area, where to shop, how to get to places, etc – it was a very nice touch. They even recommended an amazing place (Berthillon) for ice cream/sorbets, we made a point to go there and it was spot-on amazing!!! Funny – go to trip advisor and type in “Berthillon ice cream Paris”, quite the reviews!! The Metro is super convenient at only a block away, was so nice to get around town.
So let’s discuss the flat itself--- It was clean upon arrival, Philip had checked in with me when we landed, it was a nice touch… He had emailed me the exact address a day in advance, so giving the address to the taxi driver was easy and he got us to the flat without trouble or confusion (about 30 minutes from the airport with traffic). After we arrived at the flat, I called Philip and he had a local woman near the flat get us inside as well as a couple sets of keys for our stay. This is when the pictures met up with the expectation of the flat, it was very spacious and clean. The floor boards had a rustic squeak to them that we all actually enjoyed. There are many family pictures around the flat, my daughters felt right at home and safe – was very nice. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, we all made sure to get single and family pics. Enjoying coffee, reading could not have been better when you look up and see the Eiffel, it was amazing every time morning to night!! Something else to note about the place and Philip & Emma’s caring…every room had a fan. It was around 77 to 82 every day, this place does not have air conditioning. With the fans on and having windows on each side of the flat, it was almost chilly at night which was amazing in itself! The other thing to note is – the neighborhood is pin-drop quiet at night. It was kinda weird really, so many apartments, 1 block off of a bustling street and it was crazy quiet all night long - and the windows were open every night!!! Having the kitchen was super convenient for making breakfasts every day as well as dinners on occasion.
We are happy to write a stellar review for such a great place!! We were simply delighted and very happy to have stayed at this flat. What a great Paris memory…. Thank you Philip and Emma!!!!
