My time at Aude’s place was absolutely amazing. It is in the heart of Paris and close to everything! The listing says that the studio is small, but it’s manageable. First, the check-in process was easy and Aude provided clear directions as to how to access the building. Secondly, there is more than enough space for one person. The studio could handle two persons as well. The neighbors are quiet, sometimes they play music, but nothing too loud. I can tell that everyone respects each other in the building because it is mostly quiet. I felt safe in the area, on the street, and in the building. I walked around the area at night and I didn’t have any problems at all. Thirdly, the bed is mechanical and comes from the top of the ceiling via a control device on the wall. I was first nervous about the bed, but it is very strong and easily held my weight. I would say when you’re ready to take it down be ready to sleep because it takes up some space in the room. Aude is very responsive to messages! She answers very fast and seems always willing to help. Amenities: - The shower was hot with a lot soap, shampoos, and plenty of towels provided. - The WiFi worked very well, but keep in mind that the passwords here are very long. The television worked perfectly. - There are plenty of glasses, plates, and cookware provided. Also, there is not a stove, but there is a hot plate, which has a cool fan in it so cooking won’t be a problem at all. - There’s also a coffeemaker, but since I don’t drink coffee I was fine having to not use it. - The heating works very well. Paris sometimes gets very cold at night and because the room is small it is warm very fast. - The bedding and pillows provided were clean and fresh. Aude also provided extra bedding if you should need it. - Aude provides closet space, which was more than enough for my time there. - There’s also a washing machine, but I didn’t use it. I’m sure if you’d like to use it that Aude can provide instructions. I did not see a rack to dry my clothes if I wanted to wash, but Aude may have one so it’s worth asking about. Key notes: There is a Lycamobile across the street so you can easily get a SIM for your phone. I got the 15€ data only plan and was happy that it could use WhatsApp, iMessage, and Facebook messenger to call my friends and family. There is also a grocery store nearby if you should need anything like soap, toothpaste, etc. The place has many shops and stores around so finding an interesting place to eat or shop won’t be a problem at all. Endnote: The apartment was great (très bien/ incroyable)! It is near everything since I walked to Châtelet-Les Halles (nice...
