We stayed in Raphael's flat for four nights in August, when it was quite warm. Raphael supplied not 1, not 2, but 3 fans to cool the flat, and in the evenings, we were able to open the windows as well, and found very little noise to disturb sleep, which is great in a noisy city. It is an easy walk to the Louvre and the Marais. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
