I spent a month in Studio 7 and my experience was extremely positive. I didn't get to meet Michael in person, but he was in communication throughout the entire period before my trip. And once I arrived, he made sure that I had all of the info that I'd need to get around (maps, locations of nearby shops, directions to studio, etc). Philippe was the one who checked me in on my first day, and he was very helpful and friendly!

The neighborhood is amazing and I would most certainly stay in this part of the 18th arrondissement again. There are some great bakeries just up the street (I practically lived off of baguettes during my time there). Plus two metro lines are located very close by (you can walk to line 12 in under 10 minutes and line 4 in under 5 minutes). There's also a Carrefour and a pharmacy right around the corner for your grocery and toiletry needs.

I loved coming back to the apartment after a long day of exploring Paris. The bed is comfortable, the shower works great, and the light that comes in through the windows is wonderful during the day. Plus there's a great view of the building across the courtyard (pretty Parisian architecture). The building itself also felt very safe. You have to go through two sets of locked doors just to get inside. Plus, there are a lot of cafes located between the apartment and line 12, so even when I'd come back at night, there'd always be plenty of people walking around on the street. I definitely want to stay at Studio 7 again the next time that I'm in Paris!
