This is an OK place, and Gary is nice and most of the time responsive, but the studio is way overpriced in my view. The good: It is centrally located, and is clean and recently renovated with good utilities. Gary is nice, and tries to be responsive and helpful -- he came to let me in at 8:00 a.m. on my first day even though the standard check in time is noon. The bad: it is really, really small. Once you open the sofa and turn it into a bed, there is no room for anything else. The lighting is so soft that your eyes start hurting if you do anything other than having a romantic drink. And since you are on the first floor (or second, if you count the American way) and two lines of busses pass right under your nose it can sometimes get a bit noisy. All in all, it is an all right place if you are staying in Paris for a two or three days, although even then you can find something better for the price. Anything more than two or three days, go for somewhere that feels less tight and claustrophobic.
