Sylvia's place was in a great location near Montmarte, just a ten minute walk to Sacre Coeur. All main tourist sites are easily accessible by two nearby metro stations. The area is quiet and we felt safe during our stay. There are many great restaurants nearby and a coffee shop named KB Cafe shop that we highly recommend. The place itself is just enough for two people visiting Paris for a short time. The mattress could have been more comfortable but you really can't expect much since it is a pull out day bed after all. In regards to another review which stated the curtains are sheer so the sun blinds you, there are shutters you can use to block out the sun. Once we shut the shutters, the room was completely dark and we had no problems sleeping. Overall, the place is a great value.
