Looks exactly like the photos, clean and modern! Very well situated - just a 5 min walk to Gare du Nord & Gare de l'est and about a 10-15min stroll to Canal St.Martin where there's an abundance of cool cafes, restaurants and bars to choose from. We liked Ten Belles, Du Pain et des Idées and Hollybelly. While the studio is located on the ground floor, there's a passage and courtyard separating it from the building entrance. We felt safe and weren't disturbed by any street noise. Would stay there again :)
