We didn't have the chance to meet Gabriel but he made sure we had everything we needed for our 4 nights stay. His friend was waiting for us in the studio when we arrived and we got a quick tour of the studio. Amongst other things there were some cold beers in the fridge and a bread on the shelf. Gabriel had written down information and useful advice on a piece of paper. The studio was clean and in a peaceful area. We could open the windows at night without any problems. There is a metro 5min walking distance which takes a few minutes to go to the louvre. We also very much enjoyed the stores around the corner where we could buy our breakfast or a very good pizza place on the way to the metro station. We recommend to stay with Gabriel.
