The studio was bigger than I suspected, so that was a nice surprise. It's location is perfect! Across an old church and with a cute little bar/restaurant on the square across. I love the neighbourhood Marolles: quirky art, vintage, comic strip murals and great places to eat and drink. And on the other side is Zavel: so the opposite, really love that.
The suggested earplugs are nice to have: you sleep at the front above the street. You hear the sound of the cars (not that busy, but you do hear them) and the bar/restaurant (nice one!). But with earplugs it's just fine.
Marcelin was great in his responses and hospitality!
