The room is truly a private studio within Pascale’s apartment. Keep in mind you will share the bathroom and kitchen which was no issue at all considering that I went out every day.
The only issue was on my own part. I did not communicate my arrival time well. Make sure you do that. Luckily Pascale does work from home mostly so if you make it in the front door to the lobby per her instructions you can always call up.
The only other thing (probably my mistake again for not following the directions) is that the apartment numbers on Rue Bouret aren’t entirely consecutive meaning that where you would think #31 is without a map or GPS is actually a government building. If you are by a neoness gym you’ve gone too far uphill! It’s actually closer to the bottom.
Otherwise the stay is cozy and I had plenty of privacy. I would recommend the space and the area. The canal is gorgeous and the neighborhood is less touristic and more day to day, I guess? Really enjoyed it.
