My husband and I very much enjoyed staying at Raphael's place. The bed was very comfortable and the apartment had everything we needed. It even had a small Bose Bluetooth stereo which was nice to listen to music while we enjoyed some wine in the evenings. It was extremely clean and comfortable and right in the middle of Montmartre. There is a small market just a minute down the road where we were able to get wine and basic food to have breakfast in the apartment every day. Raphael even gave us a few things for our stay which was very nice. The kitchen and bathroom have been recently remodeled. There was plenty of coffee for us. We enjoyed the area - Sacre Cour was so close and beautiful to walk to at night. In one direction is a Starbucks and touristy restaurants and shops. In the other direction is a wonderful neighborhood filled with locals and great places to eat and drink and buy cheese, bread, quiche, produce, and anything else you may want. The Metro stops are not far but be prepared for a lot of steps. We frequently took the Montmarto bus which stops just outside the apartment. Raphael was very helpful even when we were delayed checking in. We could not have asked for a better place to stay in Paris.
