I can’t recommend Sylviane’s Airbnb experience enough. Sylviane is a wonderful host who loves to make friendly conversations with her guests and shares her own travel stories. I was happy to have learned from her own rich intercultural experiences and benefited from her local tips.
The room was situated in a large apartment in a high-rise building close to the city boundary. The large windows and the balcony offers a great view towards the suburban areas. In summertime it was best to make use of the balcony to have some fresh air. The facility in the apartment meets my needs. I was able to do laundry once which is quite convenient for a longer stay.
Due to the location of the apartment, it generally took more than 30 minutes to every major attraction in Paris with the exception of Montmartre, which is situated in the same Arrondissement. However, the metro line 12 and some bus lines offer great connections. It should be pointed out that the apartment finds itself near one of the poorer areas of Paris with plenty of homeless people loitering around the station of Porte de la Chapelle station after sunset. It is therefore advised to arrive from Marx Dormoy station instead where the streets look less abandoned and chaotic.
Overall, I would give Sylviane a 5-star review and would love to stay at her place again if there’s a chance.
