We couldn’t have picked a better neighborhood or place for our family of four to call home for our three days in Paris. Sophie’s apartment was *almost* exactly as described - once we arrived, we determined that it was even better than it appeared in the photos.
Sophie met us at her apartment and gave us the lay of the land and allowed us to drop our bags early before check-in, and pick them up after check-out on our last day so we didn’t have to lug them around with us. This gave us time to explore the area, including Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, which was a definite highlight of our visit.
The roomy apartment offered natural light all around, with large sliding glass doors in every room to let the sun and air in. The near-360° views were spectacular, especially at night. The kids loved seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up and the light show that happens after 11 PM. The decor was very chic and fun. The beds were incredibly comfortable and everything was spotless. This is a great place for a single, a couple, or a family to enjoy.
A few restaurant recommendations within walking distance are Sunny and Cafe Bolivar, and then Le Pavillion Du Lac, which is just inside the parc (and also serves dinner), was a great place to sit and have coffee outside. In fact, anything we needed was in walking distance, including a pharmacy that was three minutes away on foot.
I truly wish we could’ve stayed longer and we are grateful to Sophie for being such a great host! We would absolutely recommend her place and hope to return again in the future.
