Joan and Sofia's place is exactly as advertised. It is just the right size for anyone backpacking or traveling by themselves and need a comfortable home base to come to. It is easily accessible from all public transport - and short walking distance to the Pere Lachaise cemetery for any Jim Morrison/Oscar Wilde devotees. Lots of cafes around at a short walking distance including a great super store just 100meters away. I had no trouble finding the place. I did not get to meet Sofie, but Joan was incredibly helpful, warm and great to converse with. He gave really useful tips and was very accommodating. It made my trip even a more memorable one. I highly recommend the place!! :))
