Our stay in Paris was greatly enhanced by staying in Sophie's lovely apartment overlooking the Seine, it's bridges and the Paris skyline. She was a smiling, thoughtful and kind presence on our arrival, providing a stocked fridge, bread and pastries as a welcome!
The apartment is light and airy and very spacious in the communal areas and delightfully quirky in many ways. I was also intrigued by the wonderful collection of books on the shelves!
The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom (also a second toilet) and kitchen areas were very clean and serviceable. Water was quickly hot in the tap.
There was plenty of crockery, glassware and pans to use if needed and my only suggestion for Sophie would be the addition of 1 good cook's knife, a potato peeler and masher! You can gather from that, our "negatives" are very small indeed!
Access and security were very good; for those not wishing to climb the stairs, a lift provides an alternative - but the balcony view rewards the climb anyway!
The apartment's situation on Ile Saint Louis is ideal for any trip to Paris and you could not wish for a more welcoming host than Sophie. We would happily return.
