Sylvain was a gracious host! He was quick to respond to the numerous questions I had prior to booking and arrival. Upon arrival, he met my friend and I at the train station, walked us to the flat, pointed out key spots en route to the flat, and did a thorough job of explaining things in the apartment. The apartment was clean and roomy. As others have noted, he also kindly left us wine and snacks! It was a warm welcome to Paris, and the flat is in a convenient neighborhood. Great value!
