If you are considering staying at Raphaelle's place- I would STRONGLY consider it. There are a few brief downsides- the pullout couch bed could be a bit more comfortable, and the 7PM check-in time is later than most places. However, Raphaelle was very accommodating in getting us in as early as possible and let us drop our bags in the afternoon so we could explore the city without them. Her recommendations were excellent and her communication with us was constant and quick. And the view... the view can truly not be beat. My wife and I stayed here the last night of our trip in Paris, and ended up sharing a bottle of wine and just marveling at the Eiffel Tower, which was massively in view in the window. The pictures don't do it justice. Stay here if you are looking for a romantic evening with an excellent view.
