Sophie's place is located near a couple of metro lines and bus stops so no need to worry about not having transportation close about. Generally about 5-10 minutes to access transport. The neighborhood is generally safe so being out late is not an issue. Her place is secure as there are two private doors with codes you need to get through in order to access her apartment. Then, as far as the room is concerned, it is a nice small room that has what you need--a bed, a bathroom (which is interestingly part of the room and there is no door so as long as your comfortable with that, you're fine), and free WiFi. Sophie is a welcoming host who made my friend and I comfortable. Ask her for tips on what to see in the city and your stay in Paris will be ultimately better. She definitely knows the great, not really known, must see locations. Also, Sophie and her husband (who is welcoming as well) are extremely fluent in Spanish which was surprisingly impressive as they have a total of three languages they speak. Overall great stay.
