This is a fantastic find! In a lively (but not TOO lively — it’s not party central) real Paris neighborhood, a few blocks from the charming Rue Mouffetard and a few blocks from the Metro. It’s also only about a 20-30 minute brisk walk through the Latin Quarter to Notre Dame, and 15 minutes to the Jardin des Plantes.
The street is just off a busy boulevard, but the studio itself is nearly silent (and I am a wimp about noise!)—occasionally some footsteps from the apartment next door, but that was it. The courtyard shares a window with a tiny bar next door, but we couldn’t hear a thing once we were inside, even when the bar was busy and the window was open.
It is a small space but plenty big enough for two people. The bathroom is surprisingly large given the size of the studio, with a lot of counter space and a shower you can actually turn around in. We didn’t use the kitchen for cooking (or even making coffee) at all, but some basic supplies were provided, and there were nice matching plates and silverware, etc. And there’s a bakery right on the corner for your daily baguette.
Everything was sparkling clean and nicely decorated—a lot of thought has obviously gone into it. The bed was very comfy and the sofa bed was fine too.
Dominique was very responsive by text message and fixed a hitch with the WiFi within an hour of our arrival. She sent info in advance about how to get into the building and the studio, and it was all easy.
I highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again!
