This studio is very clean and safe. The hallways and entryways are cleaned every morning. It is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. The building has an office manager on site. Jean Françoisˋs communication with me during my 2 month stay was very good. He met me at the gate to show me the studio and checked in with me periodically by message during my stay to make sure everything was going well. The studio is small but works great for a single person, professional or student. The bed folds out easily at night and folds back into a comfortable extra wide chair in the daytime. The kitchen has everything needed for preparing meals. Behind the studio is an enclosed secure courtyard is for bicycles. The wireless internet worked excellent as did the large screen television. The shower was clean and plenty of hot water with good water pressure. The studio is very secure. It is located within a gated locked square. There are double locked doors to the entry of the building and then of course, the studio is locked. The building and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. It is lively during the day. The neighbors are very nice. There are students, young families, professionals and older people living in the buildings. Less than a minute walk away is a laundry mat. A 3 minute walk to the corner is a butcher and deli shop, a bakery shop, a coffee shop and restaurant, a pharmacy and another 2 minutes walk to the supermarket and more restaurants and pubs. It is a fifteen minute walk to Rue Mouffetard., another 5 min to Jardin des Plantes. There is an awesome street market every Wednesday and Saturday mornings, that is about a 15 minute walk away on Rue de la Glacière. I took Bus 21 often to the Louvre, Sainte-Chapelle, Palais de Justice in the first arrondissement and walked along the Seine. Bus and runs about every 12 minutes. In addition, there are four nearby metro stations; Métro Glacier, Line 6; Métro Les Gobelins, Line 7; Métro Denfert-Rochereau, Line 4, Line 6, and RER B; Métro Place d’Italie, Line 5, Line 6 and Line 7. The thirteenth arrondissement, is a multicultural residential neighborhood, that is wonderful to explore. I loved my time at the studio. It is well situated and calm. I would stay here again.
