The studio has been recently remodeled and looks exactly like the pictures. The window faces other neighbors, so it’s hard to get much privacy without closing the curtains and blocking all the light. It’s perfect for two people. We stayed with our 2 young children and although we slept very comfortably, the pull out couch took the space we would have used to place our luggage. No big deal. We knew it would be tight. There is a cafe in the corner with great coffee, croissants and fresh orange juice that opens super early, and the bakery around that cafe is amazing. The apartment has easy access to two subway stations. We walked to the Eiffel Tower in 12 minutes and the arch of triumph in less than 20.
The building could use some new carpeting, but Jean can’t don’t anything about that; don’t let it deter you. We used the stairs after leaving our luggage and it’s more convenient than the elevator.
The directions given by Jean were impeccable, and everything was exactly as advertised. We found it to be a great value with the right Parisian charm!
