Sophie's place has to be one of the most beautiful in all of Paris, as well as being an incredibly convenient location from which to experience the best of Paris. Sophie was an incredibly charming and gracious host! She left a book with detailed instructions about the apartment, as well as personally explaining things to us. The bed is incredibly comfortable. The bathroom is spacious and all amenities work beautifully--plenty of hot water and powerful. She was available to call if we had any questions, but we did not need to call her as everything was explained in detail so beautifully. The apartment is very large, and the view is incredible. You are right on the Seine, and the view at night is particularly spectacular. The apartment is within walking distance to many of the most notable sites, but more importantly, there is a Metro station one block away (you will want to use the Metro here as you can get anywhere within Paris and it is so easy to use, even for someone not used to using public transportation). Clothes washers here are very small by American standards, so just go ahead and pack enough clothes for the length of your trip. (I promise you that Paris is worth hauling heavy luggage around.) And use Uber to and from the airport--much nicer than taxi service here. Also know that elevators in Paris are small and are uncommon, but Sophie's building conveniently has one. Our friends who live in Paris also said that this place is an amazing find! Everything you need is here, so what are you waiting for? Come stay in Sophie's place and have the most amazing experience of your life! Merci beaucoup, Sophie--you made our experience of Paris a fabulous one!
