I really enjoyed my 4-night stay at Raphael's apartment. The neighborhood is lively and close to many sights, but not too noisy at night. The apartment is up one floor from the street, an easy climb. The living room opens onto the street and the bedroom has a window onto a quiet courtyard. It was fun to practice living in a relaxed, real Parisian apartment. I found high quality restaurants, cafes, groceries, and a good barber, all within a couple blocks for the place!
