I stayed with a friend in Benoit's studio and we had a very nice time. The location is quiet and you have easy access to the metro as well as the Montparnasse neighborhood. The bathroom is quite nice but if you plan on cooking the kitchenette is very, very small! We enjoyed having the extra space once we put the murphy bed away, although we had to air the room out because of the pet hair in the carpet. Definitely a plus to be on the ground floor in Paris, no lugging yourself up and down stairs every day. Thank you for sharing your studio with us Benoit!
