We had a great few days in Sophie's place, which is right in the heart of the Marais. It's a cool, funky space at the very top of a winding set of stairs - four flights up, so this is definitely not a great option for people with bad knees or lots of heavy luggage. Her place is beautifully decorated and we found it very comfortable for our family of four. It's not a great option for families with very young children, as some of the decorations are breakable and there is a need to be quiet on the stairs. But for older kids and adults, it is a perfect option in a lovely location.
