Laurent's studio was perfect for me for a two-week stay where I wanted to be close to my language school (LSI--highly recommended); to have the ability to cook, study, and do laundry; to have easy access to the Seine and historic center; and to be close to public transportation (including the majore station at Châtelet). One thing not mentioned in the listing was that there is a large glass door to an interior courtyard and a large operable window to the street. This resulted in the ability to have great ventilation and cross breezes, important as there seem to be more and more heat waves in France recently. Mentioned in the listing, but important to bear in mind is that the bathroom area is spacious but with a low ceiling. If you are tall, this will make using the bathroom space uncomfortable and potentially annoying. The bathroom space is the converted downstairs basement area (It has an arched brick ceiling that is reminiscent of a wine cave.) and it includes the washing machine, drying rack, closet for hanging clothes, and the dresser. Again, the ceiling was only a minor discomfort for me, but I am not tall. Overall, I was more than happy with the apartment and my stay there.
