Marie´s studio deserves more than 5 stars. It is located in one of the nicest and safest residential areas of Paris, close to the picturesque Parc Monceau and to the musées Nissim de Camondo and Jacquemart-André. A good supermarket (Franprix) is around the corner. The Metro lines Villiers and Miromesnil are 5 minutes away and the main tourist attractions can be reached within half an hour max. on foot. (If you do want to spend your day in bed, you will see the Tour Eiffel from your window ). When I checked in, everything was impeccably clean and tidy. Marie had also left some snacks and tea bags as well as coffee capsules for me. The studio is very small but is organized so cleverly that it fits everything you might possibly need. You even get to read some nice photo-books on Paris. On a personal note, Marie was very nice and she welcomed me warmly after a long trip. She was also extremely quick in reacting to any questions I had. If you have problems walking, the only flaw might be the stairs. This is an old Parisian building, so you will not get an elevator. I enjoyed a bit of exercise in the morning and the evening. In my opinion, this is one of the best places in Paris and Marie is one of the nicest hosts you might find.
