Silvia was always quick to respond, thorough in her emails, and it was super easy to communicate with her in both English and French.

Connecting with Silvia was though you were a friend on your way to visit her in Paris, and you could truly feel at home when you were there. It was a beautiful apartment with absolutely adorable cat (Gato). To my surprise, the Bastille area has a lot to see and offer: with just a quick walk down the street I was amazed at the amount of small coffee shops, bars and very close to the canal! Had I the time, I would have stopped and had a coffee or a baguette at one of the corners and pretended as though I lived there!

This place is an ideal place for anyone truly wishing to explore the city. Thank you Silvia! It is unfortunate that I didn’t have the chance to meet you while I was there!
