Staying at the studio was amazing!! Danielle wrote out everything beforehand and made sure we found the studio ok and got in. The cleaning lady whom lets you in is really sweet but doesn’t speak English. You get the idea and principle of the studio from her- she’s sweet for trying and we understood the basics. The studio itself is on the 3rd floor (2nd in Paris) and the hallway needs some love but works just fine and the studio it’s self is amazingly neat and clean. We loved that we had a fridge and supplies to make something small if needed. The windows are like sound proof or something. Since she has no AC- but like most places wasn’t a big deal and she provided a fan. We left the window open one night- around 4am someone was yelling so I closed the window. We then heard nothing the rest of the night- very nice! The neighborhood feels safe and busy. Not too busy but with easy walking points to both the subways and the river. We loved shopping for fresh meats, cheeses, breads and wine on Rue Montorgueil- 2 minute walk from the studio. I would stay here again next time in Paris and would happily recommend!
