Mathieu was away when we arrived but he left things prepared and gave us the necessary information so that we could access the studio. It is a small place but big enough for people who are mainly going to use it to sleep and to have their basic needs met. The kitchen shows that the flat is not new, with a somewhat rusty stove and no oven but you can still cook a couple of meals there. There is a hotel-sized fridge (minibar-like) to store a couple of things. There is heating, which makes it very comfortable, especially now that the days are getting really cold in Paris. Some pieces of furniture like the tables show pretty evident signs of use, with stains. The shower curtain in the bathroom had a couple of mold patches, which can be easily fixed by replacing it. The flat is well located, very quiet, and it has a metro station only 10 minutes away and the Eiffel tower can be seen from the street where the house is located and can be reached by foot in about half an hour. All in all the studio met our needs and Mathieu charged a fair price for it.
