Sylvie's place has an amazing view, and you can see the top part of the eiffel tower. Be sure to watch the sunset from the balcon of your room; it'll complete your Paris experience. Paris is amazingly convenient via the metro. The Nation metro station, literally within steps of the apartment, has many lines (1, 2, 6, 9, A) that will take you to all the must-see/visit places. For example: take the 1 straight to the Louvre, "Champs Elysées" station (shopping area), the "George V" station for Louis Vuitton/long champ/Laduree etc), and further down to The Arc de Triump. Take the stop "St. Paul", and you'll enjoy lots of cute restaurants, creperie booths, and walking distance (10-15mins) to the Notre Dome. Metro line 1 is about 35mins from one end to the other, so pretty much each stop has alot to offer. The apartment is on the fifth floor and is the only one that has a balcony. It's a circle, and Paris stays lively until past midnight so you might hear some laughing and ambulance at night but it's not bad at all. The bed is so comfy that I managed to fall asleep within minutes. Her two kittens are also very adorable! I highly recommend this place!
