This is all it was advertised to be. We came in the summer and there was a fan for our convience that made all the difference. The directions are spot on. It is a nice walk to the Eiffel tower, and if you like hookah, there is a wonderful place on the way back and only 5 mins from the studio called La Chance. It was a perfect end to a day of sight seeing. Oh and the shower!!! It is a beast! All that you need in Paris!!
