This apartment is in an excellent location with several great restaurants on the same block, a street market one block away, and easy access to transportation. The apartment feels old world while having modern amenities. Phillipe is very friendly and quick to respond to questions during the stay.It was great for our group and we would definitely book it again but keep in mind that 1) its on the 4th floor (5th if you’re an American) and the elevator is small (good for luggage), and 2) there is no air conditioning and neighbors will complain about noise if you are not quiet when courtyard windows are open.

This was our favorite place by far of all the places we have rented for vacations, starting with communication with the host. Superb. When I asked before our stay where we might find water for a CPAP machine Phillipe responded with a photo of the bottles he had already gone out and bought to save us from having to scramble the first day. Staying here was like having relatives in Paris who let you use their place when they are gone. The apartment itself is a well-loved home that is delightfully rambling in its design. There is a great deal of separation of each sleeping area from the others for privacy and large dining and living rooms for gathering as a group. The living room especially had wonderful leafy trees right outside the windows. I most appreciated the soaking tub which was a wonderful way to relax after a long day of walking. In the next block to the left there is a metro stop that took us to all the places we wanted to see. Only once in the entire week did we need to transfer to a different line. To the right it's but a short walk to Rue Mouffetard, one of the oldest streets in Paris which is a traffic free area of restaurants, shops, and food options including the bakery Le Fournil de Mouffetard where we bought fresh pastries every morning, Try also Tokyo Fluffy for fluffy dessert pancakes with various yummy toppings. We will absolutely stay here again our next trip to Paris. Our highest recommendation!

The homeowners were absolutely lovely. We're not used to being greeted by owners when renting a home, so this was a nice experience! They provided lots of complimentary coffee, pointed out things like hairdryers and the iron, and provided an extensive welcome packet with restaurants, markets, and other useful information. They even provided some outlet converters for our American phones and other items. It's a very spacious home with plenty of room for spreading out, dining, and game playing. In a good location near markets, restaurants, the bus, and metro. There is a bit of a learning curve for non-Europeans when it comes to the appliances, but that's to be expected! The owner was so helpful when I texted, and at other times, we just googled our questions.

Phillipe is a wonderful host. We were delayed a day upon arrival and he offered us a night at the end to make it up , which was very much appreciated. The apartment is spacious , clean and comfortable for 5 plus adults. The beds are comfortable and cosy as advertised . The neighborhood is wonderful with local markets and nice restaurants nearby . We had a marvelous week.
