What a wonderful apartment for a family! We had the best time staying at Sonia's flat - plenty of room for everyone to spread out at the end of a long day of walking around the city and get some "alone time." The Jussieu metro stop is right outside the apartment, and the beautiful Jardin des Plantes with multiple museums and a zoo is just a short walk down the street. We loved the local environment, with tons of great brasseries and street markets on the weekends, grocery stores just down the street, and the perfect mix of busy during the day and quiet and peaceful at night. Sonia contacted us during our stay (during the amazing World Cup final games - Allez les Bleus! - and Bastille Day) to give us some pointers on where to go to watch the game and the fireworks. We did as she suggested and really felt integrated into the community. It was fantastic! My family and I aren't big on too many touristic activities, but you are a short walk away from some great places (Notre Dame, the Jardin des Plantes, Jardin de Luxembourg, the Pantheon, and the Seine/Ile St. Louis), and the neighborhood was full of great little cafes and shops. The place is lovely, and very comfortable for a family. After staying at Sonia's flat, it's hard to imagine staying anywhere else in Paris. Thank you Sonia for such an amazing place to stage our Paris adventures!
