Igor's place is in a great location, close to the metro and beauitful sites such as the Sacré-Coeur. I will warn you that the particular metro stop, Lammark, has a lot of steps, I think about seven flights, so keep that in mind for when you're carrying luggage up and down as well as coming and going to the studio. It's not really an issue in general if you're in decent shape but it may be for some. The studio itself is very small but very cute and nicely decorated. It was also very clean and new looking. I wouldn't call it "high tech" but it has everything you need except air conditioning which was pretty rough during our stay in August with temperatures of 35 C. And because it was on the ground floor facing the street with lots of foot and car traffic outside, we weren't comfortable leaving the window open during the day or at night. The only other issue I had was with the bed. The ladder is straight up, not angled so it can be dangerous going up and down the steps. I learned this the hard way our first night there when I misjudged a few steps coming down and fell and sprained my ankle. I ended up missing out on our entire Paris trip of 3 days because of this as I was unable to walk around at all. It wasn't anybody's fault but my own. I'm only writing about it so that people are aware they will need to be very careful going up and down the ladder to the bed. Otherwise, while we did not meet Igor, he was very easy to deal with, prompt with responses, helpful with suggestions, and very accommodating to our request for an early check in. I may not have had a chance to enjoy Paris because of my sprained ankle but I would recommend Igor's studio to anyone looking for a place to stay in Paris.
