Sylvie's place was satisfactory for somewhere to sleep at the end of each day. It did not have a lot of room for sitting around relaxing. If you are visiting Paris in the Summer, and spend all your time sightseeing, this place would be great to just come home to and sleep. As we were there in winter, and needed a refuge from the cold and dark, and somewhere to unwind, it was not quite what we were looking for. It was dimly lit, making it difficult to read.
