We had a good time at Mathieu’s place. The street is quiet (the apartment is in the yard, so no traffic noice), but it has bars and restaurants - and Canal Saint Martin and the park Buttes Chaumont around the corner. Close to several metro stops. The kitchen is a bit scarcely equipped (we were short of lids, scissors, a bigger cutting board and tea towels), but it works well for breakfast and simple meals. Nice bed and shower and spacious compared to other Pais studios. Lovely with a proper table for meals! Mathieu and his friend Paul took good care of the communication and check in/out.
