We stayed here for 5 days in the summer and couldn't be happier with the space, location and host. Franck's studio is beautiful and situated in a very vibrant (slash trendy) area (just off Rue Oberkampf) with a great view to the city (and, no, you can't ignore the Eiffel Tower). Be aware that it's on the 6th floor (no elevator) and there's a couple of bars downstairs that are open until 2am in case you're sensitive to the noise. We didn't meet Franck but he was very easy to communicate with and had a lovely friend waiting for us for check in. Highly recommended!
