Sylvain’s flat is absolutely stunning! The space we had was large and airy with a huge window that opened into the the room. We had our own private bathroom with a beautiful shower stall with two options for showering. Sylvain offered us the use of his jacuzzi tub as well but we didn’t take him up on that.
The flat is located in Montmartre which is in a bustling section of Paris, just down the street from the Moulin Rouge. It is quite a noisy area both during the day and at night but the window does a more than adequate job if you shut it at night. It is walking distance to Sacre Coeur but be warned, it’s an uphill walk. We chose to walk to the tourist area (Arc de Triomphe, Musee D’Orsay, Sainte Chapelle etc) but it’s around a half hour or more to get to these sites. We enjoy walking but, if you don’t, you may want to learn how to use the Metro. Sylvain is always more than happy to help.
There are plenty of restaurants in the area so you won’t be at a loss when it comes to food. There is also a grocery store and a pharmacy close by, as well as a Starbucks.
The king size bed was very comfortable and it had a nice duvet. There was plenty of storage for clothes, both folded and hanging.
I would definitely recommend Sylvain’s flat if you’re looking for a lively and vibrant part of Paris.
