Sylvain's apartment is exceptional: well-stocked with kitchen equipment, towels, toiletries, iron & ironing board, hair dryer, dishwasher, TV with lots of fun channels, extra bedding, even an umbrella! Then there's the location: just steps away from Chateau Landon and Gare de l'Est stations, butcher, seafood, cheese and pastry shops nextdoor, supermarket across the street. 15 minute walk to the southern end of the Canal. Friendly, attractive neighborhood. Sylvain wrote me a few times during my stay to make sure all was well. The best place I've ever booked.
