Silvia was a wonderful host. She was very understanding and flexible when she wasn't sure if she would be home to meet me, as well as when it turned out that I would be arriving later than expected because of some travel issues. I was welcomed and offered maps and guides and suggestions about what to do and see and where to go. The location of the apartment is superb for walking around Paris and there are many great little restaurants, shops, and galleries nearby. The room was as expected and comfortable for little me. It was a great home base for exploring the heart of Paris.
