This is a great place to stay for a break in central Paris. Clean, comfy, amazingly quiet given that it is in the heart of a bustling area of cafes and bars, we slept really well. The tube is near by and fabulous galleries and sites a walk away. The entrance is set in a passage/arcade that houses quite a lot of mens barbers. This leads to a few groups of men near the studio entrance. This was NOT a problem at all, we had NO hassle, but it just might make a single female feel a bit vulnerable. Overall the area felt very safe with a good vibe. Danielle was great, stayed in touch and very helpful. The studio is nicely done with just what you need to have a good trip. We would stay there again.
