Sonia's apartment rewards with spectacular views of Paris and the Eiffel tower's triumphant light show each evening. Close proximity to the Gar de l'est railway station makes zipping around the city super easy and just around the corner is a great run of bars and restaurants that she recommends in her binder of Paris necessities. It was perfectly suited to our needs. Lots of stairs and no elevator can be trying after long days of sight seeing but if you've packed light and are the same on your feet it's well worth the climb!
