The studio is in a good location close to bus and metro connections. It is in an old building up a flight of stairs and faces an interior courtyard. It is relatively quiet, depending on the neighbors. We appreciated the space and the amenities especially the air conditioning, the clothes washer and the kitchen facilities. It was a good base for our vacation. Claude was a good host. She explained how everything worked in the studio and gave us tips on where to shop and how to get around Paris.
