Sylvie's apartment was the perfect home base for my 10-day visit to Paris with my 20-year old niece. The apartment is charming, filled with art books, comfy furniture, and interesting knick-knacks. As some of the other reviewers have commented, it is filled with Sylvie's stuff -- it's her home, after all! It felt more like we were borrowing a cool friend's apartment than a generic rental place. If that sounds charming to you, then you'll love it. If you're looking for something generic and sparse, then you should probably keep looking. It was great to have two bathrooms (though only one toilet) and the sleeping area, while a little unconventional, gave us both our private spaces. Comfy beds and nice linens. The neighborhood is terrific, lots of great shops and cafes. I really appreciated being able to get away form the busier touristy neighborhoods yet everything was easy to access by Metro or even walking.
