Sophie is the ideal host, taking care of needs we didn't even think of. She is extremely approachable, affable, courteous and caring. This was our first trip to Paris and we never felt that we were in a foreign land. She possesses a wealth of knowledge to help you in activities you want to pursue and took the extraordinary step to customize our stay (got goodies and books for us and our children). I cannot say enough to justify her good deeds and character. We hope we can stay in her lovely home the next time we visit Paris.
