Bernadette's studio is exactly as described. It is small, quiet, and very cozy, perfect for one person. I visited during the winter and the studio was well heated. Having access to the outdoor garden was excellent. Everything I needed for preparing some of my own food was available to me. I traveled by myself and felt very safe in the neighborhood. Bernadette welcomed me and made sure that my needs were met. She is a lovely woman and excellent host. I especially liked that she invited me for coffee and on another day for breakfast. My stay was better than I anticipated.
The location of the studio is convenient to transportation, restaurants, historical areas, and all of central Paris. It is a short walk to the metro and to the bus. The entire neighborhood is easily walked. I was able to walk to the Seine and visit places like Notre-Dame. Using the Metro was very easy and convenient for reaching others areas of Paris. For me, the location was excellent.
