Sophie was a wonderful host, very friendly and easy to talk to and gave us some great suggestions for places to eat. The apartment is an easy 5 minute walk to the nearest metro and from there you can get to anywhere in Paris. There is a delicious bakery around the corner and a supermarket where you can get all the essentials, they also have fresh squeezed orange juice that you can bottle yourself - a perfect accompaniment to the baguette and croissants from the bakery for breakfast. The apartment has a washing machine however it broke just prior to ur stay which Sophie was very apologetic for but she informed us of a launderette around the corner which was very handy and easy to use.
The apartment has a lift which is handy if you don't want to walk up 4 flights of stairs.
