Our stay at Sophie's apartment was perfect. The apartment is small but did not feel cramped, it felt cozy. We had everything we needed. There was a combination washer/dryer which came in handy as we got rained on the first day. The bed was firm and comfortable (maybe too comfortable, as we ended up sleeping late). There were the few occasional appartment noises, people on the stairs, someone moving a chair, but other than that, it was super quiet. It was maybe a two minute walk to the metro, and there were plenty of places to eat and shop right nearby. Overall, we really enjoyed staying in Sophie's apartment. It made us feel like we lived there!
