Ruth and her family are extremely friendly and lovely people!!! My husband and I really enjoyed meeting them! The studio is very tiny, like the other reviews describe, just enough for 2 thin people,however it's in a really good area, (a half hour walk to the Louvre), very close to metro and a 5 minute walk to a lovely area called La Marais with nice shops, restaurants, etc...would love to come back soon, but will bring a much smaller suitcase
