Philippe's place is an interesting experience. It is located fairly close to the conveniences of the city such as dining and transport with a little walking required for both. Philippe waited for us to arrive for check-in and was very helpful showing us how to access the apartment and the facilties within. Philippe uses the apartment himself on a regular basis so it is like moving into someone else's house. From that aspect some may find that comforting and others a little confonting, but overall you will have most things you need.
