Sophie got in contact with us a few days before arrival just to confirm and she and her husband, Marc, were waiting for us exactly as we agreed. They made us feel very welcome and had a list prepared with all the necessary practical stuff in order for us get arranged as quick as possible. Both Sophie and Marc are very open and easy going and we really felt "at home".
The apartment is very cosy and safe and with a good Parisian atmosphere. Lots of space, light and nicely decorated - it had plenty of room for four adults.
The neighborhood is very lively with a lot of people on the streets which makes it a bit noisy sometimes at night - not that it really bothered us. It's the type of 'hood where you will see everyday life in all respects which, in our opinion, makes it very charming. Just around the corner you will find lots of green areas for your morning runs or whatever activities you do. Especially the Park and Bassin de la Villette was a great area with lots of people - families, young and old - having pic-nics and a good time.
We can only recommend Sophies apartment and we would definitely come back to it if possible.
