Raphael is an amazing host! He got the flat ready for 11.30am on the first day we arrived, saving us from having to take our suitcases around Paris - and he was super flexible with the checkout time letting us choose when we wanted to leave. He provided us with restaurant and wine bar suggestions and wrote out itineraries for our short stay to ensure we made the most out of our days! When he heard that we were unable to get a reservation at one of his restaurant suggestions, he went to the effort to find a different restaurant and booked us in. Raphael really went over and above to accommodate us. The flat itself was clean and modern, we had everything we could possibly need (even a bottle of champagne on arrival!). It was really close to the metro station (about two minutes), about 20 minutes from the gare du nord (the station the Eurostar comes into) and right by the sacre couer basilica. We would all be happy to come back and stay here! 100% recommend
