From my very first contact with Sofia all enquiries were promptly and fully answered. I did not meet Sofia, although I did get to see a numbet of her beautiful artworks proudly showed to me by her mother, Maria.
It was in fact Maria who effectively hosted me. She and I shared the very comfortable, well situated and tastefully decorated apartment. Being used to small rooms when visiting Europe, I was very impressed by the size of my room which faced the back of the building and was relatively quiet. I had my own bathroom which was large and luminous. Shower gel, toothpaste and hairdryer were all kindly provided.
The highlight of my stay was meeting Maria who carefully explained in very good French how different things work, and then gave me a chance to practise under her expert eye. She also talk me on a walk through the neighbourhood showing many sites unknown to the average tourist. She is a really kind, caring person.
