I really enjoyed my stay at Sofian’s place. The location is absolutely perfect. It’s right next to the Pigalle station and it took me at most 30 minutes to get to some attractions. There is a supermarket across the street and my favorite bakery, Pain Pain, is up the block. Not to mention it’s proximity to countless places to eat, drink, and shop.
Sofian was a great host. Very easy to communicate with if I needed assistance. And a very nice guy.
Be warned that there are a lot of stairs. This apartment is on the 7th floor and there are over 120 steps to his place. I am not in the best shape but I was able to climb those stairs multiple times a day without issue. (Except being slightly winded when I arrived).
The only complaint I have is that the pipes in the bathroom do smell sometimes. But I just left that door closed and a window open and it was fine. If you plan on spending a lot of time indoors or cooking (bathroom and kitchen are one room) it’s something you have to consider.
With all this being said I would definitely stay here again.
