For a couple of 13 years (finally having a getaway to the city of Paris) Hugues place was perfect. The studio, while small, has all the amenities one needs to get along from day to day. It is located next to a metro stop and in close proximity to another metro location that will quickly take you to the heart of Paris. The studio and its neighborhood are quite safe and fun to explore on foot. There is a large park across the street from the studio that is great for walking/running/enjoying the area. There are patisseries, brasseries, and wonderful small restaurants within short walking distance (Belleville, Place de Fetes). Should you choose to stay in there are amenities for cooking (induction stove, small oven) and excellent wifi.
Hugues is an excellent and responsive host. He helped us navigate Paris and his guidance enhanced our experience quite a bit. He really added to the authenticity of our trip; we didn't just feel like tourists.
If we travel to Paris again, I would not hesitate to stay here again. Lovely neighborhood, great local access, friendly people, and a great taste of Paris! Merci, Hugues!
