Antoines place is very picturesque. Being tucked away from the street gives you some security with some peace and quiet. Although small, the studio does offer all the amenities to be a great place to stay as you explore Paris. On that note, the shower is particularly small. Being 6 foot 210lbs I barely fit. I made it work but if you are any larger than me it will be very hard to shower. I definitely would stay again. It's very close to the subway. The host communicates very well. Highly recommended
