Philippe's apartment is a wonderful oasis off warmth and calm in Paris. The apartment is not so large but well-equipped, and it is in a quiet side street in a residential area, but close to several metro stations with direct access to all parts of Paris. Philip is a wonderful host: friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with (and speaks excellent English), and made every effort to make my stay easy and pleasurable. He made sure there was coffee, fresh milk and juice for me to use while I was there - a really nice touch.
