I had a pleasant stay at Sylvie’s place: the studio is on the last floor of a beautiful building (elevator up to the 5th floor then you have to carry your luggage for few more stairs) and I was actually surprised by the light and the size of the window that I thought would be smaller from the pictures. It is a charming apartment - small but with a smart layout that makes it very functional. Perfect for a solo trip or for a couple. I had everything I needed to enjoy my stay: robes, towels, hair dryer, soap, and the kitchen is small but well equipped. Nice attention upon arrival: I found a small bottle of wine and chocolates.
The location is unbeatable: in a famous street of Paris with lots of great shops, cafes and delicious boulangeries, close by from the Quais de Seine and transportation. It was perfect during the colder months and with a curfew at 8pm because the very busy street was empty and quiet, but not sure if I would book during the peak summer season when the street is crowded Day and night and it’s hot (the apartment is under the roof). I’m sure it can get very loud.
The room offers a beautiful view of Paris’ rooftops and no vis-a-vis, which is rare.
You do hear the noise from neighbors and apartments under you as the place is not well isolated, but that’s normal I guess when you’re in a busy city.
Otherwise the place was quite clean - and I had an overall very pleasant stay! I would recommend if you’re looking for a typical Parisian experience in a trendy neighborhood!
The host was very responsive and made sure to check on me often to know how I was doing - I appreciated that.
Thank you!
