My family (husband, tweens, and mother-in-law) loved staying in Sonia's flat in the 5th. It felt so wonderful to come home to a home - not a soulless rental apartment. We were surrounded by beautiful rugs, furniture, paintings and books - utterly charming! We took lovely walks to Notre Dame, the Marais, the botanical gardens (and Zoo), the beautiful local Mosque, the catacombs and St. Germaine. There is s Metro stop just a half a block from the apartment which faces the local University. We would stay here again in a flash. Highly recommend!
