As a solo female traveler, I couldn’t have felt safer. I stayed for 2 months, and fell in love with the quiet neighborhood. Away from tourists, minutes away from the metro and the Pont Cardinet train station, grocery stores down the street, laundromat down the corner, and some of the best boulangeries-pâtisseries you could find. (Do yourself a favor and try the Italian restaurant down the way, just a three minute walk from the building.)
The studio itself is small, but perfect for one or two people. The Art Deco building is beautiful. You get lovely light that comes in through the windows.
François was quick to respond. He was out of town at the time of arrival, and was greeted by his friend Oksana instead. Both personable and helpful.
It easily became a home away from home. I would happily stay here again.
