This studio is such great value for Paris. I particularly wanted to stay in this area and wasn't disappointed. This is a real Paris neighbourhood - non touristy and very diverse. Never felt unsafe walking on my own. A hop skip and jump to the nearest Metro station ( and only a 30 min walk to the Marais and more touristy areas). The studio is HUGE (and cheaper than the 12 sq m hotel rooms I was looking at). Great shower, comfy bed and lots of little touches including some welcome snacks and wine. My hosts were away when I arrived but access easy by popping into the restaurant across the street. A little noise on popular bar nights but I had no problem sleeping (thats what ear plugs are for). If you want an authentic Parisien experience go no further.
