I stayed at Sophie's place for 4 weeks and had a wonderful time. The view is fantastic. The apartment is clean and comfortable. It is located at the heart of the 5th close to everything in the area, yet away from the hustle and bustle of city and noise. Cafe Universel is right across the apartment with weekly Jazz music sessions. There are half a dozen grocery stores within minutes of walking, as well as at least 3 boulangeries. The Point-Royale street food and vegetable market is held at the junction of St. Jacques and Point-Royale 3 times per week to do food shopping. The kitchen is very nice with a washer and dish washer well places. The toilet is an ecological system I have never seen anywhere before. My French friends took pictures of it. The Metro Porte-Royale (which was not running due to industrial strikes) is within a 5 minutes walk. Sophie was communicative and responded quickly to all questions. All in all a superstay.
