Philippe's apartment was a wonderful place for us to stay for our short time in Paris. It is on the top floor of the the building with a tight spiral staircase which took a bit to adjust to since we have no stairs in our house. Philippe was very helpful with our luggage, since we definitely had "over-sized" luggage. The apartment was very clean with plenty of room, and even a view of the Eiffel Tower from the kitchen window.
The apartment is in a wonderful area and close to many wonderful stops for food. It is a short ten minute walk to the Latin Quarter where there are many wonderful and well known boulangerie's and patisserie's (i.e...Eric Kayser, La Parisian), and also excellent chocolate and macaron shops (i.e...Laduree, the inventor of macarons). The apartment is close to many important Paris sights, with a 15 minute walk to Notre Dame and about 30 to the Louvre. The apartment also is just a short walk to two metro stations which makes it extremely easy to get anywhere in Paris with ease.
Philippe's apartment is a great place to start each day of your Parisian experience.
