The studio is walking distance, approximately 15-20 min, to many attractions ( Musee d'Orsay and Louvre, and Notre Dame). The neighborhood was very lively and we enjoyed walking around the area. The studio itself is cozy, clean, and has everything needed to cook and refrigerate food. We slept on the pull out couch which was reasonably comfortable. There is a lofted bed above the couch, however we did not trust it to hold the both of us (average size). The hosts were very responsive to our questions, especially when we could not figure out which door led to the studio (there are approx. 4 other apartments on that level). Also, the studio is on the 5th floor (~100 steps) with not lift. Thanks again Dominique and Xavier!
