This studio is perfect for someone who wants to enjoy the city. You are in the middle of things, close to the Metro and Notre Dame and The Marais. There's also an amazing market down the street on St.Germain on Saturdays with cheese and meat and fish that will blow your mind. The flip side of that coin is that you're in a busy neighborhood that can be a little noisy at night and especially after the bars close. But that just means you have to make yourself part of it. Get into it. Go out. And bring earplugs if you're especially sensitive to sirens. When you're here, though, there's a comfortable bed, converters for your electronics, maps and a full kitchen with an oven, a dishwasher and cookware. The shower's great, and a washer so you can wash and dry your clothes. The building is from the 1700s, so there are four flights of stairs, but you will be able to work off all that bread and cheese and wine. Best of all is Stephane, a welcoming and funny and thoughtful host who is there when you need him. This is a great place for the price. I'll be back.
