Sylvie is the best host you could ask for! She gave us very good instructions on how to get from Gare du Nord to her place, met us at the bus stop by her place, gave us a tour of the place and the neighborhood. The apartment is on the 4th floor, so we were thankful for the lift which took us up to the third floor, only requiring us to carry our suitcases up one flight of stairs. Her place is very cute and cozy, and had everything we needed during our stay, including a washing machine, clothes drying racks, fully functional kitchen with cookware, hair dryer, clothes iron with ironing board. The beds are very comfortable, and there’s a nice dining/sitting area where we were able to sit and eat our meals. Sylvie’s place is located in the very heart of Paris, we were able to walk to the Louvre, Opera Garnier, Lafayette Galleries, Palais Royal, and so many other Paris attractions. Numerous bus and metro stations close by, all within a 5-10 minute walk. There is also an award winning French bakery around the corner, Monoprix 5 minutes away, and tons of great Japanese, French, and Vietnamese eateries nearby. We were so glad to have found Sylvie’s place, and hope we can return soon. Stay at Sylvie’s place, you won’t regret it. Thank you for everything Sylvie!!!
