Our stay at Raphael's place was delightful. The view is beautiful and you can see the classic architecture that makes Paris such a beautiful place. The apartment is on the fifth floor so after a long day of sightseeing this is a little daunting but since it is on the top floor you don't have any noise from above you and the street noise is not bothersome. The temperatures were in the upper 80's when we were there so the apartment was hot when we arrived back after being out all day but Raphael has provided a fan that cools down the space quickly. The location is perfect as it is close to a few Metro stations so it is easy to get to other parts of the city. Many yummy bakeries around and the pizza place a few doors down was very good. Everything was clean and tidy in the apartment. Thank you Raphael!
