Sophie's place was better than the photos posted. It was clean and well decorated and had no difficulty staying three people. It wasn't easy to climb the stairs to the third floor, but we had strong legs. Older people or those with a lot of luggage can be difficult. Sophie always cared during our stay. The major locations of Marais are ten minutes away and there are three subway stations nearby. I was lucky to be able to stay at Sophie's place. Thank you again, Sophie!
