Laurent is an exceptional host! He is very friendly, speaks excellent English and is very quick to respond to questions and concerns. The studio is small but clean and cozy. The bed is quite comfortable. There is a small shower space (hot water is plentiful!) and a small kitchenette with stove top and mini fridge. The location is excellent in terms of its proximity to major sites in Paris. It’s 5 min walk to Chalet- Halles which gets you everywhere on the transit. The only downside to the studio is the noise. It is a block away from a police station so sirens are heard at all hours. There is a lot of construction nearby and jackhammers and other equipment like street sweepers get started early in the morning. There are numerous bars nearby and late night patrons have little respect for the neighborhood residents. If you are a light sleeper, this may not be the best place for you. Otherwise, the pros outweigh the cons and this is a great place!
