Sylvia is the best airbnb host I've ever met. She was friendly and helpful during our stay. We lived in the same flat with her family but they respected our privacy so we ended up having a great time. In addition, our flight was cancelled because of a strike and she let us stay for 2 more nights - for which we are incredibly grateful. The apartment is about 7 minutes from the RER station and it takes about 30-40 minutes to get to the tourist area. There are shops, restaurants, bakeries and at least one mall in the neighborhood. All in all, I highly recommend Sylvia's place in you're looking for a calm and clean place for a reasonable price.
