Bernadette's studio is a wonderful hidey hole in the 5th. I lived here for my first six weeks after moving to Paris while apartment hunting and Bernadette could not have been more gracious, kind, or thoughtful during my stay. The studio opens onto a small private garden which was just starting to see camelia blossoms. It must be incredible in the summer with a Southern Magnolia, roses, and wisteria vines everywhere! Keep in mind, this is a studio and it is small. While it was great for me, I worked long days and didn't spend much time day to day other than sleeping. If you're looking for space to laze around in, this won't fill the bill. Also, the ceilings are proportionately low so if you're taller (I'm not), this might not be a great space for you. Bernadette is very receptive to feedback, so ask if you need anything. She even bought champagne for me to celebrate when I finally found my own place! She loves to travel vicariously through her visitors so expect to be invited to breakfast and tell her a little about you and your culture. It's her way of traveling the world. Bernadette definitely merits her top rating and superhost status. I loved my time in her home.
