We really enjoyed staying in the Saint Martins area of Paris returning to it every evening to eat and relax in the sun. Raphael’s guidebook helped choose where to eat although the weather was so good we spent lots of time with the locals sat on the banks if the canal drinking wine! The only thing I would add to the guidebook is Jours De Fete a fantastic little restaurant just round the corner from the apartment. The apartment itself was very welcoming, help by a bottle of wine provided by our thoughtful host. It was modern, cleverly designed and met all of our needs. Too often we’ve found Air BnB’s to be businesses designed to maximise profit but this is clearly someones well loved home and we appreciated all of it. Communication from Raphael was excellent (much better than mine) and he made the whole process very simple. Would recommend Raphael and his home.
