Silvia and Mael were such warm, gracious hosts, and we loved staying in their charming apartment. The location in St. Germain des Pres was a perfect hub for our Paris wanderings. My husband and I were traveling with my mother, who arrived separately and much earlier. Silvia welcomed her and by the time we arrived, my mother knew the whole family and had made about twelve friends. :) Everything was clean and comfortable. This is a great spot to book if you're looking to meet some great people and explore Paris.
