I booked Sylvain's place at the last minute when other plans fell through. What a lovely comfortable apartment. Very large by Paris standards and well equipped. I even cooked a meal for my friends in the cool kitchen! Comfy bed, shower and bathtub, heating effective and lots of personal touches. This is someone's home, not an anonymous rental and I loved that. And the courtyard and neighbours were delightful too. Sylvain was quick to respond to queries and full of helpful local tips. It's a super area 5 mins walk from La Republique . Recommend!
