Sophie’s apartment is beautiful! Perhaps what you would exactly hope for in a Parisian apartment. Entrance through the courtyard takes you away from the busy street to a quiet, cosy apartment which is equipped with everything you need (including really good oven/cooker and equipment).
4 of us were here to set up an exhibition in La Villette Park, but I would highly recommend staying here for a visit to Paris! It’s really well located on the metro and it’s nice walking around this area - along the canal, easy to get to Montmartre, To buttes-Chaumont Park and Belleville.. and this area of Paris is really cool!
The sofa bed is comfortable enough two friends to sleep on for a week and is v easy to use/put away, meaning the space could be used by all of us ☺️ bathroom and everything all clean, high quality and well maintained.
The local boulangerie (Pauline) and the market on Thursday & Sunday is great. Try to find the guy between the cars on the left hand side of the market for a fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee, and watch the market from a different perspective.
Sophie is a great communicator, generous and stylish (!) with good recommendations in her book, highly recommend a stay at her place.
Thank you !
