This tiny studio is quiet and perfectly located to travel easily around Paris by metro. It’s only a five-minute walk to a friendly neighborhood café Le Commerce (right across from the metro Commerce) for a very reasonably priced French breakfast where one has a great view of passers-by and a silent big screen TV where one can read the subtitles to know the interesting events of the day. There is a good Vietnamese caterer next to the building, and a vegetarian restaurant with delicious, healthy, and inexpensive cuisine on the same street. The one drawback is the size of the studio. The sofa bed is easy to put up and down once your host demonstrates how to do it—make sure that you get lessons before he leaves--once the sofa bed is down there is little room to walk in the studio and no room to get from the kitchen space to the bathroom space without crawling over the bed. The bathroom space is especially challenging. Even at 5 feet tall and 105 pounds, I found the toilet/sink space cramped; the shower stall is wonderfully equipped with plenty of hot water, but it is a climb up and down that prospective guests would be wise to know about. This is definitely a great and well-located apartment for compact people in great shape who plan on spending minimal time in the studio itself.
