Despite the studio being very small (particularly with 2 large suitcases!), Violaine's place has everything you need for a comfortable stay in Paris and is in a really fantastic location! The apartment is only a 5 minute walk from Hotel De Ville Metro Station (take exit 4), and nestled in the heart of the trendy Marais district with many restaurants, cafes and shopping locations conveniently within walking distance. There is also a Boulangerie right across the road and a supermarket about 50m from the front door, which was very ideal. The kitchen is fully functional, we were glad to have a washing machine and we slept very well in the comfortable mezzanine bed too! The only issue we encountered during our stay was with the hot water in the shower which Violaine addressed promptly and I'm sure will be fixed for future guests, as this was taken very seriously when brought up. Violaine went above and beyond to rectify this situation and make our stay as enjoyable as possible :)
