We were walking down Rue st-Nicolas and passed the building but a friendly voice called out to us and sure enough it was Raphael's partner Federica. She heard us speaking in English and correctly guessed we were the guests. She gave us a warm welcome, showed us around the apartment, gave us a great tip list with nice area restaurants (of which we went to 2 and both were great). She pointed out close by metro stations and markets and was very helpful. We found other restaurants and cafes that we liked nearby as well. The apartment was clean with all the conveniences, beds were comfortable, people in the area were very friendly. My first time using Airbnb was a great success! Thank you Raphael and Federica!
