Raphaele was a very thoughtful host. Her apartment was clean and welcoming. The bedroom with the two beds was fine (the mattresses are relatively thin, although this appears to be common in Europe). The common room had a pull-out couch, but the other bed was a couch that was not a convertible. We were only given one set of keys, which proved problematic as you must have the keys to unlock the apartment (even from inside the apartment). So our group of four had to stick together otherwise some were trapped in the apartment. The location provided easy access to the metro system and there were numerous bakeries, restaurants, and markets/groceries within .25 miles.
