Raphael was a very hospitable host and was very helpful and kind when we needed him. I would happily recommend this apartment to someone else, but with one caveat. We were a large group of nine people, and it was a very tight and uncomfortable squeeze for us. Some air mattresses deflated overnight, and most of us did not sleep too too comfortably. Regardless, I would recommend this listing to anyone traveling in slightly smaller company, maybe five or six people maximum. The apartment was very close to a central metro station which made traveling easy around Paris. A little sketchy (some prostitutes roaming the streets) at night but we never felt entirely unsafe. Again, Raphael was only ever helpful and a great host.
