My stay with silvia and Mael was excellent! Silvia and Mael are warm, courteous and helpful. They made my first airbnb experience a positive one!
When I arrived, Mael greeted me at the apartment entrance and carried my luggage to the apartment for me. He provided me with 2 maps and showed me where the nearest pharmacies and Cafes were and provided many suggestions for sightseeing and dining, I really appreciated this! The room was the perfect size for one person. It was actually a bit bigger than I expected! There is a coat rack and dresser/cabinet in the room so you can tuck away your things neatly. The bed was comfortable and they give you a duvet comforter which was very comfy and warm! Also, the room is at the back of the apartment away from the living room so you get a lot of privacy and quiet if you want to take a nap or make a phone call. There is 1 washroom and its shared but it was always free when I needed it.
The location is amazing! I was told by many Parisians that the location couldn't get any better - and I agree! St Germain des Pres is a lovely neighbourhood. It's lively and it's pretty! There is great shopping, tons of Cafes, restaurants, bakeries and art galleries galore. I felt very safe. Going home alone at night was never a problem. Of course you should always be vigilant but I felt safe and the people in the community were nice and helpful. You are also a 3 minute walk from the metro which gives you access to everywhere. And 3 minutes to a bus that takes you to major sights like Opera, Louvre, Ile du Cité in a very short time (less than 15m).
This was a great stay! I'd be happy to stay at Silvia's again. I recommend it to single travellers!
