I can't recommend this studio enough! My wife and I were in Paris for the first time and this was the PERFECT LOCATION!!! Laurent was there to meet us and show us the space, even provided a bottle of champagne, as it was an anniversary trip. He has a great knowledge of the whole city and had a long list of recommendations for food, walking tours and insider tips on several of the sites you are going to want to see while you're in this amazing city. The studio was small, but was perfect for the two of us, and even would've worked nicely if we had our two daughters with us. The studio is well taken care of and very clean. The upstairs bedroom is spacious and has a great balcony inside overlooking the courtyard. Just steps out the door to Place de la Contrascarpe and you have absolutely everything you're looking for in Paris. After long days of walking, we couldn't wait to get back to this area of the city. It is such a bustling, lively area that is so exciting, yet the studio is tucked away so it is very quiet when you're ready to relax and get a good night of sleep. We will absolutely return to this studio, and the great hospitality that Laurent provided on our next trip to Paris.
