It is a cozy efficient studio, which is located in a colorful neighborhood in 19th arrondissement. The studio has excellent access to the metro 7 Crimée that has taken me to anywhere in paris proper within 35 minutes. The laundry machine doubles as a dryer! I didn’t know that. It’s a great amenity to have for a long-term stay.
I mostly communicated, and checked in, with Aline. She offered to pick me up from Aulnay sous bois when I landed in CDG. I don’t know if that is usually offered but I appreciated that immensely. With a large suitcase and a 65-liter backpack, it would have been difficult to ride the metro (many metro stations in paris are not equipped with elevators).
I exchanged messages with Stéphanie to work out my check-out logistics. She accommodated my early departure (7am!) with no problem.
In terms of check-in, check-out, or anything related to the studio, all went smoothly. I was sad to leave this studio. It had been a quiet sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of paris for a month.
Au revoir, “charmant” studio!
