We had a fantastic stay at Sylvain's! From the first email, he was a helpful and welcoming host, answering my questions, arranging a crib for us, and sending directions to the apt. We received a warm welcome upon arrival. Sylvain gave us a tour of the place, handed over the keys, and sent us to a delicious lunch at La marine. He also gave precise directions to the best boulangerie in the hood. He is a punctual, generous, and friendly host.
The apartment looks even better in person than in the pictures. The kitchen is well equipped and easy to navigate, the bathroom has an amazing shower and bath, lighting options abound, and the main area is spacious and smells so good, like lavender.
We loved the plants in the court yard and appreciated the stroller access since we traveled with our 3 month old baby. The location is fantastic, the neighborhood is bumping, lots of bars, restaurants, boutiques, markets. The apartment is on a pedestrian Street so no noise or traffic to speak of, but only 1 minute to subway and busses, easy access to airport, and major sites can be reached by public transport or on foot.
I highly recommend Sylvain's apartment, it feels like a real home and I would love to come back again for a longer stay.
