Raphael was very friendly and accomodating. Even if he was not in Paris at that time, he made sure I was feeling comfortable and enjoying my stay. It was also nice that he speak English fluently since I'm not that good in French yet. The place is as it looks like in the pictures, a studio. I got everything I needed for my whole stay. But what I love about this place is the location! It was very near most of the places I wanted to visit: Notre Dame, Musée du Louvre, Seine, Centre Pompidou, Marais, etc. Saved me a lot of time and money for transportation! But it is also ideal if you wanted to go to farther places since Chatelet metro (just outside) connects I think around 5 lines so it is very easy to travel around. And there's so much you can do around the area like shop along Rivoli, drink and have fun at night (many bars just downstairs), or just stroll around and explore Paris. Never a dull/boring moment for me.
