I don't know what to rave about more, Philippe or his home! To start of with the space is gorgeous, and in even more of a picturesque setting than expected (there were two swans in the canal behind that we would all watch in the morning)! It was the perfect set up for my mixed group of bridesmaids, their husbands, and my mom, who had all flown in from the US. My bridesmaids were easily able to public transport to go see the sites during the day, and at night the huge dining table was a wonderful place to work on wedding activities. We also loved the open plan on the main floor that way we all could be working on different things, but all be in the same space. Philippe was also an incredible host, helping us with everything! To give you an idea of how awesome he was, my mom was having issues with the can opener and Philippe came back to the space to show her how to use it (there were other situations like this, but I think it gives a good indication of how wonderful of a host he is). We loved his space and it would be the only place we would consider if we had a big group again. On a practical note this place is really excellent for dogs! My husbands's dog came over during the day time and there was the perfect place to walk her literally right outside the front door. We loved staying here, and if you (the person looking at reviews) are debating between this one and any others: get this one! You will not regret it!
