Let me first start by saying that the studio IS quite small, but perfectly manageable for two people. There are not one but two self service laundromats on the same block, so don’t worry too much about the place not having a washing machine. Unfortunately we arrived in Paris on the day it was 42 degrees and it didn’t get much cooler at night but the rest of our stay was much more comfortable, and also the studio had a fan. Most Parisian apartments don’t have air-conditioning or so it seems, so it can’t really be helped. The location is definitely the main draw of the place, it’s 10 mins from the Eiffel Tower and 30-40 mins from the Louvre, Musee d’Orsay etc (if you want to walk, you can go right along the Seine and it’s incredibly scenic at night). Mehdi is a great host, he lives in the same building and responds quickly to any queries or problems you might be having.
