Sofiane was a wonderful host! He was extremely responsive to all our inquires and willing to assist in any means to make our stay more comfortable. The apartment is accurate to its photos, located in a prime, bustling location. The apartment is slightly more on the outskirts and took us approximately 20 minutes to the major attraction. Due to time restrictions we decided to travel via Uber, but the metro system is highly efficient and simple to navigate. You can purchase metro passes for 24/48/72 or a week, or purchase a reloadable metro card. I would suggest looking at the metro routes ahead of your trip and mapping out sites of interest ahead of time. While there is a language barrier, the diversity in Paris means that you are bound to stumble upon an english-speaker. The restaurant at the bottom of the apartment had an extensive menu selection with all kinds of delicious French cuisines and desserts. We would stay again!
