This was our second visit to Sylvain's flat. We enjoyed it just as much or maybe even more so because of the familiarity.
The flat is spacious and well furnished: a large main living room with a better kitchen than one finds in most places, a bedroom off the living room, separated by a glazed sliding door which helps to create the sense of space, a bathroom and a separate toilet. There is everything you could possibly want: coffee pods, washing up liquid, shower gels, etc.
The flat is in a courtyard (therefore very quiet), on the second floor of an old building (there is a lift if needed), on a street that has a lot of shops for breakfast or eat-in days. No problem picking up bread and cakes - there are several boulangerie-patisseries to tempt you - small supermarket, speciality shops selling wine and cheese, etc.
The flat is very close to the Gare du Nord - about 10 minutes - which if very handy for planning arrivals and departures. There are two tube stations, one at either end of the street. Transport is very easy and fast.
Sylvain is always very quick to respond to any enquiry and arranges a smooth check in. He had left us a welcome present, which we greatly appreciated.
I could not recommend this flat more highly - the proof is that we are already planning our return!
