Vincent's place was just the typical, charming parisian studio in the very heart of the city. Very close to transportation, but so central that you could walk to many touristic locations. I have been there on a business trip and had the tranquillity I was looking for. It was very cold but inside the studio the temperature was nice. There are almost no blinds on the windows, so at night you get the light from the street, but it was not a major problem for me.
