Sonia's apartment is really lovely and has a very homely feel. It is decorated beautifully with lots of cute little knick knacks that give it a personal touch. There are three large windows which give beautiful views of the city and the Eiffel tower, which is especially great when it is lit up at night. The bed and sofa bed were both very comfy for the three of us that stayed here. Everything was organised well and the apartment was easy to find and close to the gare det l'est metro station. We never used the kitchen but it had everything you would need if you were to cook. The bathroom was clean and shower works fine. We would definitely recommend the apartment and if we come to Paris again we will be sure to make a reservation. And it is definitely worth the climb up the stairs.
