Marc-Etienne was a perfect host & he has a little gem of a studio. It’s been completely renovated, it’s light & bright. The view from the window is just delightful & as a bonus Sacre-Coeur is soooo much closer than it appears in some photos. The metro station is directly across the street & connects you quickly to a major hub & there is a bus stop just across the street as well, that makes movement around the city easy.
The studio is close to many, many places to visit in the Marais, so walking to sightsee is easy. It’s in a very lively & vibrant area, with many dining & shopping options. There is a very active weekend nightlife in the area, so some nights can be noisy. Closing the window tames the noise on those nights. I was a solo, older, female traveler & always felt safe here. I was here 3 1/2 weeks & was in/out at all times of the day & night, & never had a moment of concern. I completely fell in love with the studio & the location. I was very pleased with my entire stay, will definitely stay here again & am recommending Marc-Etienne’s studio to my friends & family.
