Although not meeting Hilal and Malika, I can say they were outstanding hosts. They coordinated a friend of theirs to leave the key with a nearby business so we could access the studio when we arrived. The studio was very modern, comfortable, and clean. We were originally concerned about how it would be to sleep on a futon but it turned out to be just great. The mattress was very comfortable and it didn't feel any different from sleeping in a regular bed. The location of the studio was extremely convenient as it was less than a 5 minute walk to the metro with plenty of restaurants/cafes/bars nearby. Hilal and Malika were very kind and sent a list of some recommended places to try. They were very prompt in their replies to our messages when we did have a few questions. We would definitely stay at their place again if/when we go back to Paris.
