I had an absolutely wonderful six-week stay at Raphael's apartment. Check-in was very smooth, and everything was explained in detail. The apartment itself is lovely. It is on a high floor with an elevator, with an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower (the photos don't do the view justice!). It is very convenient to the metro Poissonière (literally a minute walk, maybe less). The apartment itself is very quiet and peaceful. The wifi is fast and reliable. The bed is comfortable (and the radiator is just next to it, so that's nice), and there is plenty of room for storage. It is also great to have a refrigerator and washing machine. Water pressure in the shower is good, plenty of hot water. Raphael was extremely responsive to any questions I had. When I was in a panic and failed to find somewhere to print out tickets for a trip to Disneyland Paris, Raphael personally printed them out for me and brought them by the apartment. I was also in Paris during the terrorist attacks on November 13, and Raphael was quick to make sure that everything was okay and to ask if myself or my mother (who was visiting at the moment) needed anything. So an amazing host! I would highly recommend staying here for a long or short stay in Paris.
