This apartment is ideal for one person or a close couple. It has everything one needs for a short or long stay—including a combined washer-dryer that works very well. I stayed here for over a month without any issues or difficulties to complain of.
You get used to the seven flights of stairs within a few days. The windows are large and airy, and open out to a fantastic view to the north and east. The apartment is well situated within the 2e arrondissement—15 or so minutes walk to the Seine, and great bars, restaurants, and local spots 3 minutes to the north in the 9e. The neighborhood is a rare blend for Paris: a very central location that is, bizarrely, not very touristic. This means that you’ll avoid big crowds and exorbitant prices, and you’ll hear lots of French in the street!
I would highly recommend this studio to anyone who doesn’t mind a bit of a tight (but comfortable) fit in a great location.
