Sonia was a great host. Even tho she wasn't there personally to greet us when we arrived at the flat, she made arrangements for her close friend to greet my partner & i, and to show us around the flat. The flat itself is super! We particularly loved that it's on the top floor and gave us a view of the sky. We got plenty of light, and the clean white decor & uncluttered deco worked well for us. Belleville, the neighbourhood, was a great discovery for us. Great local produce, wines & cheese, delicious breads & pastry and friendly & helpful locals. Easy access to the metro made it convenient to move around and discover other places too. I would definitely recommend Belleville to anyone, and in particular Sonia's flat to anyone planning a trip to Paris.
