N ayant pas eu la chance de rencontrer Irene, nos communications avant, pendant et apres notre sejour furent excellentes. Instructions claires et precises.
Petite studette avec beaucoup de charme, propre et possedant tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour preparer vos repas d appoint.
Canape pliant tres confortable, TV ecran plat, situe dans un quartier vivant a deux pas des transports en commun (Bus ligne 74 rue Blanche vous deposera devant le musee du Louvre! ou bien devant l'hotel de ville... a faire en weekend ou bien le soir, Paris by Night , un must! ) et a proximite de petits commerces de quartier.
Petite note qui n enleve rien au charme de cette studette et a l hospitalite d Irene, pour ceux et celles qui cherchent plus le calme de province, la studette se situe pres d un bar vivant avec une clientele plutot jeune.
En conclusion, sejour tres agreable... mais trop court .. Merci Irene!
For all English speaking guests:
We had a lovely time in Paris thanks in part to this little studio. It is well-kept, with a very comfortable pull-out couch. The kitchenette is just what you need if you want to fix a quick meal. The location is extremely convenient, being just a few minutes' walk from the Blanche Metro station, and even closer to the bus. It's less than five minutes to the Moulin Rouge on foot. Despite being near the Pigalle red-light district, the neighborhood feels safe and not seedy. There are plenty of stores nearby, including a bakery, a pharmacy, and a convenience store. There are numerous restaurants as well. The apartment has a television and several handy books about Paris. There is no wifi, although it's easy enough to find around the city.

We had just two minor notes for future guests:

First, if you're inexperienced with life in a big European city, it's important that you understand that this studio is SMALL. It's definitely manageable, in our opinion, but we have experience in both Europe and Japan and are used to smaller spaces. I just picture typical American travelers with full-sized suitcases and cringe. There just isn't room. I'd also suggest that the size may be problematic for people who are very large. (I'm 5'11/180cm and 190lbs/86kg, and it was pretty tight, especially in the bathroom.)
Second, this apartment is several floors above a cafe/bar in a lively district. We arrived on a Thursday, and on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, there was definitely noise from the bar until midnight or so. It wasn't ear-splitting, but if you are very sensitive to background noise when you are trying to sleep, please be forewarned.

Again, we really enjoyed our stay in this studio. While we didn't get to meet the hostess, who was out of town, she was extremely helpful and prompt via phone and e-mail, and was even kind enough to leave us a bottle of wine. Would definitely stay there again!
