We spent a wonderful week in Sylvie's studio. I especially loved the fact that it is located in an old (15th or 16th?) Marais building, with an ancient wooden staircase. Of course, these stairs are irregular and might be tricky to walk for an elder person, but I loved every walk up and down. The apartment is in a courtyard, and therefore really quiet, especially considering its very central location. It is a lived-in place, so it definitely does not have the sometimes impersonal touch of some rentals. It feels more like a friend's place. It is very well equipped, with everything you need for basic cooking. It is very small but very cozy. And the best part is the little very private terrace. We would come back in a heartbeat.
