Sophie's space is beautiful, inviting and peaceful. From the moment we set foot in her home, Sophie made us feel welcome, from showing us around to offering suggestions of where to go to inviting us to have a drink and some refreshments with her and her friend to toast and fruit and coffee offered to us in the morning. Sophie did all of these things without being overbearing; we felt comfortable going to her for assistance and hospitality, but we were also left to our own devices, and our boundaries were respected. She does have a rule of no noise past 10 PM, which made me nervous at first, but we came home from Bastille around 4 AM and there was no issue. Just be quiet when asked to, as anyone should.
The space itself was very clean, and the location was lovely; not in the heart of the city, so nice and quiet, but not too sleepy—and we were able to get to more bustling areas/sights (Palais de Tokyo, Montmarte, Bastille, etc) via the metro and bus, with ease. There's a beautiful balcony and a very comfortable bed, though my one complaint is that the comforter on the bed was very hot; I did sweat through my pajamas on my last night there, lol. I'm not 100% sure what that was about, as I've never experienced that before, but I don't fault Sophie for that—just something to note! My friend and I had a fabulous last couple of nights in Paris staying at Sophie's; I can't recommend it or thank Sophie enough.
