This is the perfect place for anyone traveling alone in Paris. Sofia's room is very clean and nice, with a balcony overlooking a beautiful street in the Marais district. It is right above a pharmacy, next to a metro stop, and close to a grocery store and many cafes. It's also a short walk to the Seine and many Paris attractions. Sofia is an incredibly welcoming host; she offered me coffee each morning, and communication was seamless. You will have to shower in Sofia's apartment (there is a private toilet in the hall and sink in your room), but that was very easy. I highly recommend staying here-- I could not have wished for a better experience in Paris.
