The studio was wonderful. The owners, Patrick and Franck, were incredibly kind and helpful hosts in a beautiful city. My young daughter and I could not have had a better time on our first visit to Paris.

The location near two major rail/metro stations is great; you can easily get to any point in the city. Being near the stations though, I found the cafes in the neighborhood maybe a little less tasty than in other close-by neighborhoods. However it is a very short walk to Montmartre, where there are a number of great spots for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

There a a couple of groceries nearby, where you can stock up the well-appointed kitchen if you prefer to cook in at times.

The neighborhood can be only slightly loud during rush hour, but that is to be expected anywhere. The windows are very well insulated, and close out the traffic nicely. The rest of the day and night, it is not an exceptionally loud area, and I was actually surprised that we never heard train noises, being so close to the stations.

Getting to most of the historical / tourist destinations of the city will take about a fifteen minute Metro ride, which is exactly what I was looking for. So if, like me, you want a more urban neighborhood experience, I highly recommend this space.

And the last thing I really need to mention is that the firm, supportive bed was incredibly comfortable. We slept very well.
