Meet Sylvaine
Creative, Cultured, Energetic
Living in Montmartre is special. Situated off the usual tourist tracks, it's cool, trendy but not over the top, with lots of great foodie places. As a gourmet, I will be delighted to share my adresses

My review is very overdue however I cannot speak highly enough of my time staying in Montmartre with Sylvaine. She was a wonderful host: from accommodating my things to sharing meals and even meeting my mother when my family visited. I wanted to improve my French which she graciously obliged by conversing with me, only using English when needed. The home is wonderful and to this stay have photos I took of the sunrise through the windows as my phone background. It was always clean and well-kept with accessible food and space for my own in the kitchen (Sylvaine makes delicious yogurt). Meeting those who also came to stay or friends and family of Sylvaine who were visiting was also a highlight of my time, as everyone was so kind. I miss my room in the apartment often and can't recommend this homestay enough.

I had a fabulous week chez Sylvaine. Her apartment is beautiful and peaceful yet well situated near the charm of Montmartre and convenient to metro stops. Sylvaine is a gracious host and also a very interesting person whom I very much enjoyed getting to know. She generously shared lots of super useful info about cultural offerings as well as practical tips for navigating Paris. I'm very grateful to have had this splendid experience!

I Had a great time in Paris. The apartment was very well located and clean in a great neighbourhood, very close and easily accessible to the metro. Sylvaine is a very kind and pleasant host. She was available if and when I needed anything. I enjoyed our coffee together one morning. Thank you very much Sylvaine.

Loved Sylvaine and her beautiful home. She is very easy going and accommodating. She even joined me for a Michelin Star reservation I would not have been able to keep without her (as they didn't allow reservations for solo).. I would love to stay again! <3
Host reply
It was so much fun! Come back anytime !

Sylvaine was an awesome hostess, she went beyond the expectations to help me have a wonderful experience in Paris. I felt a sense of safe, peace, and belonging from the moment I entered in her home.
Host reply
Christiana was the loveliest guest, both entertaining and considerate. we had a good time walking down towards le Grand Rex together. Hope to see you again sometimes in the near future, here or there.
