Sylvie's place is cozy and is very close to the subway system and Marais - a neighborhood you should definitely checkout if you are visiting France. Although it may seem small at first, all amenities are there and the appartment's layout is smart; we were very comfortable. The stair climb was a challenge at first but after a few days we got used to it and it kept us in shape! Sylvie was a wonderful host too - quick to respond to questions and friendly.
