Sophie was a most excellent host. She was very communicative and attentive throughout. She suggested before we arrived that she have someone meet us to help with the luggage up the stairs, and at first I resisted as it was just myself and my 14 year old daughter and I was certain that between the 2 of us, we could manage whatever the stairs would be. I was grateful after a full day of travel that there was someone there to greet us. The stairs are totally fine and add to the experience, but thanks for the suggestion Sophie! Sophie is a very gracious host and her place has a number of very nice finishes and touches that made the stay enjoyable. The location is ideal- very close to several metro stations. The cafe across the street was fantastic as well, Le Parisien is wonderful. You are really walking distance to everything, but have the metro there should you need it. Thank you so much! I will certainly recommend your place to anyone coming to Paris, and when I return again I will certainly come back!!
