If you want to be in the middle of the action these two studios are great. You open the windows and there is Notre-Dame...and you get to hear the bells ringing a couple times a day, this alone makes it worth the stay. Food and bars all around. We were a party of 5 and we had enough room with both studios. This is a great option if you plan to be out all day walking and sight seeing and just need a place to end the day and go to sleep. I will say this. There is a bar directly across the street and its very much an local joint and probably a hangout spot for the restaurant/service folks...and it gets going at about 11:30pm and doesn't quite down until 2:30am - people come out of the bar and have a smoke and talk and it gets really loud. Was hard to fall asleep. One of the patrons brings his dog who barks the entire time. But such is life in a busy town like Paris.
