Sophie was simply an amazing host. She responded very quickly to messages, came with the key when I arrived, and even helped me store my luggage the day of my departure because I had some time before my flight and wanted to sight-see. The apartment was very clean, and even had a washing machine and kitchen tools for guests to use. It is set back from the road, so the apartment is nice and quiet inside, too. The neighborhood is just near Rue Daguerre with shopping, restaurants and markets; it's near the RER and metro stations (Denfert-Rochereau), an easy hop to downtown or to the airport. It's also within walking distance of Cite Universitaire, the lovely Parc Montsouris, and the Catacombs; if you are willing to walk further, you can easily get to Montparnasse area by foot, too. It seems there are always people around in the neighborhood, so you feel safe walking around even at night. Two possible drawbacks for others might be that Sophie speaks mostly French (or Chinese) and only a little English, and the shower is a little bit small. But I didn't have trouble with either of those! Honestly, I was delighted to meet Sophie and I would very happily stay at her place again.
