Our family of four enjoyed our week-long stay at Sophie’s apartment near the Pompidou Centre. It is in the attic of a beautiful historic building, very well located and convenient for the city centre sights and the public transport hub of Chatalet les Halles. We loved the magical views across to the nearby church and roof-scape. The local area is packed with great restaurants and bars and it is right next to convenient supermarkets and shops. The apartment is well equipped and there is a choice of sleeping areas. The third guest bedroom is actually an open area on the mezzanine floor, so bear this in mind if you expect an enclosed space. Our host was very helpful and responsive to questions, generously leaving us a bottle of wine and welcome documentation. On the downside we found it noisy at night from locals bars and the nearby homeless shelter with the windows open. Availability was unfortunately restricted to the hottest part of the summer and bear in mind that as an attic flat, it does get hot in summer, despite the fans and AC unit. As explained in the description, it is on the 4th floor with no elevator so is probably not suitable for people with mobility issues. We ended up not using the mezzanine floor shower as there seemed to be a danger of water spreading over the floor, and instead made do with the hand held shower in the downstairs bathroom. Those with young children should be careful with two of the upper floor windows which don’t have fall protection. When buying plastic products, please bear in mind that there is no recycling available in the building. We would recommend renting this apartment outside of the peak summer heat period.
