I had a wonderful 10 days in Paris and in Sonia's flat. The space is as pictured. I was met by Sonia's friend, who graciously left me with a jar of honey and a bottle of orange juice-so sweet! Perfect for a woman, the flat has an entire wall of full-length mirrors, behind which is ample closet space. It was a lovely, warm place to come back to after a long day of touring. There is a metro station just down the street, and it is about a 15 minute ride to the Ile de la Cité. The neighborhood is great, with everything you need right at the intersection of Rue de Belleville and Rue de Pyrénées. If you time it just right in the evening, you can get a warm baguette from the boulangerie. It is quite a hike up the stairs to the flat, but I found that I only had to do it once a day upon my return in the evenings. And with all the bread, cheese, and wine you'll be consuming, a few stairs are good for you. Overall, it was a wonderful experience in Paris and in the flat; I would definitely stay here again and hope to return very soon.
