I am from New York and I stayed at Sylvie's apartment for one week. Sylvie was a very gracious host, very, very kind and always available to answer any questions. The apartment itself was as described and was a typical Parisien apartment on the 6th floor (with an elevator), an older apartment but quite spacious. I loved the layout of this apartment, the French doors that led onto a long balcony offering a wonderful view of Paris, the windows that when open bring breezes though the entire apartment and the fact that I was able to close doors off in every room so that the apartment was almost completely insulated from the city's noises which was quite a unique feature. There was what could be considered a double living room as there were two rooms that led out to the balcony however one room is used as a yoga room. The bedroom is at the back of the apartment and the bed was quite comfortable however I should mention that the bedroom windows open across from an elementary school. With the windows closed however the sounds of the playground is negligible. The area is also a typical Parisien neighborhood with supermarket, bars, the metro and many small shops within a few minutes walk. I had a wonderful stay in Sylvie's apartment and I would love to return when I am next in Paris. I recommend it absolutely. Merci beaucoup encore Sylvie :)
