José’s studio is a perfect place to stay for a visit to Paris. The studio has everything you need, and it’s very quiet and reasonably priced. Having a washing machine is convenient, especially if you have clothing that dries fast.
The neighborhood is not at all touristy, but it’s easy to get to everything you’ll want to visit. There are buses and a metro station across the street. If you like to walk, it’s about an hour to the Louvre or Musée d’Orsay, and the walk takes you through many interesting places.
Beautiful Parc Butte Chaumont is five steps away. There are good, inexpensive restaurants close by, several bars, a good bakery, and a very nice shop with fruit and vegetables, cheese, charcuterie, and wine right downstairs.
Restaurant recommendations:
Chez Mémé is next to the grocery. Very nice friendly service, good food and wine. They have tables outside as well. Salmon with beurre blanc, Endive with ham…
L’Heure Bleue is a five minute walk. Again, very good food and wine, and friendly service. Steaks, sea bass, and extremely good charcuterie. Good vegetable side dishes.
