We very much enjoyed our 10 day stay at Philippe’s apartment. Philippe was travelling during our stay so we did not get to meet him. He was very careful to make sure that we had all the information we needed and were well prepared to enjoy our stay, even checking in with us across several time zones to make sure all was well. The apartment was very comfortable and felt just like home (if home is an urban condo like mine). It is efficient, well laid out, plenty of light from eight windows, hardwood floors, radiant heat, and a full Paris kitchen. This is not an IKEA makeover. It is a thoughtful mix of classic furnishings that make it very comfortable, lights in all the right places and great works surfaces if you have some business to take care of as we did. The 15th is quiet, and feels very safe. There’s a grocery store right across the street and a great butcher shop right below. We were surprised by a nice Sunday Outdoor Market (also open Tuesday though not as many merchants) right outside the door. It’s a short walk to the metro station with two well connected bus stops out front. We’d happily stay at Philippe’s apartment again. Merci beaucoup Philippe, vous êtes très gentil et votre appartement est formidable. Nous aimerions revenir un jour
