Sylvie’s place is the top floor of a small apartment house. What this means is that there are a lot of stairs; But if you can make it to the top, the climb is well worth it.
The flat consists of a goodsized bedroom with a comfortable queen bed. The amount of closet space is limited. There are goodsized sitting and eating areas. The bathroom is small but adequate. There is a copious supply of hot water. The kitchen appliances were in good condition. There is a dishwasher and a washer-dryer, as well as a decent-sized refrigerator, a convection stovetop, microwave, oven, toaster, etc. All basic supplies (sugar, salt, soap, etc.) were supplied and of good quality.
The place is well-furnished and decorated with care. Multiple widows all have curtains and are easy to open and close. There are a few plants which need to be watered, but this is not onerous. The space is on several levels: the bedroom and eating area are one step higher than the living space and kitchen; this is unusual for American design but is easy to get used to. There are two TVs, in the living room and bedroom.
The location is excellent: three minutes down the way there’s a large street (Montorgueil) with everything you need: restaurants, organic supermarkets, bakeries, pastry shops, etc. The location is excellent regarding public transport: there are four Metro stops (with different lines) only a few steps away.
At night the street is quiet; there was no problem with street noise at all.
Our host, Sylvie, was friendly and exceptionally responsive, informative, and quick. She was a pleasure to work with.
Overall, I recommend this place without reservation for anyone who can handle the climb. When we return to Paris we will certainly stay here again.
