Staying at Sophie's place was the best Air Bnb experience - the apartment was well equipped, very clean, very functional and comfortable. Not to mention the balcony has a great view of canal, tour Eiffel and Sacré-Cœur all in one view! The area was quiet but there were so many restaurants and activities near the canal, and from the apartment it was a quick walk to Parc la Villette and Buttes-Chaumont which was a big plus. Check in/out was smooth as well. I would love to stay at Shoebox in the Sky for my next Paris trip!
