I really enjoyed my stay at Coco's studio. Coco was very welcoming and very communicative prior to my arrival. My flight to Paris was delayed and I got lost on my way to her place (I later realized it was literally a straight shot from the major metro) but she was very patient and was there to let me in when I arrived much later than anticipated.

Coco's studio has everything you'll need and the building is very Parisian with tight corners and lots of stairs. I would definitely stress that you should be prepared to walk up and down a LOT of stairs. I needed the exercise so I didn't mind. However, I can't imagine anyone dragging a big suitcase up those stairs. If staying here, the lighter you travel, the better. Also important to note, the room has a shower but not a toilet - you have to go down the hallway for that. However, the toilet room was always clean and available. Lastly, I think the room is perfect for just one person. I can't imagine having to share it with another person. It's possible, but it would definitely be a very, very tight fit.

Overall, I'd recommend Coco's studio for its location, reasonable cost and hospitality of the hostess. Thank you Coco!
