Philippe is a great host. He prepared our breakfast and sat down with us to eat. The conversation was interesting and informative. The apartment is homey and comfortable, and is located close to the metro and bus, close to restaurants, and the grocery. Philippe assisted with our reservations to tour the palace of Versailles, and made sure that we got to the correct train station on our departure, he really does want to help you have a great holiday. The bed was comfortable, the room is quiet, and it is nice to have a television in the room. If you are going to Paris give this host your serious consideration.
