Raphael's place is lovely, in a great location and perfect for my solo trip! The balcony had a lovely view and the location was AMAZING. I wanted to stay in the Marais district specifically and it did not disappoint. This was walking distance from a huge array of amazing food, drink and shopping spots and very close to public transport. Raphael even met up with me for a coffee and gave me tips on what to do during my stay. I didn't even realize there was a washing machine when I booked, but that was a great added bonus so I could do laundry during my stay. Would definitely recommend!
