Vincent was out of the country, but his friend was very helpful and explained everything about the studio very clearly. It is a lovely studio, and the photos show exactly what its like. The bed folds into the wall, so you have an option of double bed (very comfortable), or sofa. This is very easy to operate, but for me it made sense to leave it as a bed option the whole time. I was there for work, and only in the studio for evenings and nights. Local area is very good, really convenient for Gare du Nord, and an abundant choice of small supermarkets, bars and restaurants surround the studio. The washing machine was really handy for me, and I found a self-service launderette around the corner for drying. Good for the colder months of the year. I would not hesitate to go back to this studio and would be happy to recommend it to anybody who is considering somewhere in the area of Paris.
