We had no trouble getting to Sophie's home from la Gare du Nord. It cost about 20€ for 5 adults and luggage. Sophie met us and took us on a tour and explained all that we needed to know about her home. She also had a welcome note that was very detailed with a lot of good information.

The apartment was clean and comfortable, and had some extra special goodies. We really enjoyed the espresso machine and jacuzzi, especially after a day of enjoying the sights and experiences Paris has to offer. We felt very comfortable and our host was available to us to answer questions and give wonderful advice about restaurants, sights to see, and shopping!

The piece de resistance for us was the large terrace, from which we escaped the New Year's Eve crowds, and enjoyed toasting in the new year.

We loved the neighbourhood as well as the easy access to the metro. Paris is so easy to get around on public transit. All in all, we know that staying in Sophie's home definitely enhanced our Paris family experience.

Merci Sophie!
