Christine was very welcoming, and took time to show me how everything works in the studio, and suggested places to see in the local area and the Marais, along with loaning her Paris guide book.
The studio couldn't have been more perfect for my stay - clean, spacious, comfortable bed, lovely shower, and very quiet. Christine and her cleaning lady really care about the studio being perfect for one's stay. The kitchen area works perfectly, for preparing food, although I only managed a few cups of tea, which was provided, along with milk, and biscuits.
The area isn't touristic, which I loved - it's a real, living area, with a boulangerie almost opposite, fruit and vegetable shops, etc - infact, there's a small market nearby, perfect for all sorts of things - as well as cafes, and places to eat. I found the locals very friendly and helpful, which was lucky, as I had a little difficulty finding the address - my fault, as I hadn't copied the map.
