I’ve been to Paris a few times, and like to stay in different neighborhoods each time. Raphaël’s place is by far my favorite place I’ve stayed. Beautiful location, excellent view, and perfect clean-but-bohemian-Montmartre vibe. The shower and toilet aren’t pictured, but are comfortable and clean and easy to use. Waking up to the cityscape on one side and a perfect Parisian shared city courtyard on the other side was a dream, and being on the top floor you are insured a great breeze coming through.
The little square at the bottom of the staircase/street that is Rue Maurice Utrillo is one of my all time favorite little squares to hang out late into the night. Even though just up the staircase is the tourist hotspot of Sacre-Coeur, this little spot and many others just down the hill in Montmartre remain spots that locals haunt at all hours.
Good to keep in mind you are renting someone’s apartment here, rather than a dedicated rental unit, so if having some lived in feel or leftover groceries in the fridge is unimaginable to you, maybe seek something else. But I actually prefer this as it feels like a real home, and is generally well equipped. Though I do like to keep trying new neighborhoods in Paris, I’d consider breaking that trend to come back to Raphaël’s.
