If you're a single traveler looking for a great value and an amazing location, Benjamin's studio is the place for you. It's a no-frills place, but perfectly located two 'blocks' from Les Deux Magots and the St. Germain Des Pres Metro Station. I didn't need to call Benjamin much, but he called to check in with me, and was in touch regularly regarding my stay. I would highly recommend staying at this place, if you're traveling alone. I felt safe in the place and neighborhood. I had no problem with the futon/bed.
