Great apartment in a great location near Rue Oberkampf. Two metro stops were nearby, allowing easy access to anywhere in Paris. Great restaurants and pubs all within walking distance. Groceries and bakeries were just around the corner. We were not met by Sylvain, but by Catherine, her Airbnb apartment sitter, who walked us through all of the apartment's ins and outs. Sylvain left a nice book with recommendations and maps to guide us through our first few days. She also provided a bottle of wine, water, beer and juices for the first day! The apartment was as shown in the photos; there was a nice eclectic collection of pictures, plants and furniture. The kitchen was nicely equipped. The only concern we had that the bathroom was a bit tight. I would recommend this location for a stay up to a week.
