Very clean, tidy, and tastefully decorated studio apt. in a safe neighborhood with shops, cafes, and supermarkets within walking distance and the Duroc metro station an easy 2 minute walk away. Emmanuel is a wonderful host, very discreet, professional and a gentleman. He met us at the entryway to the building and kindly carried our luggage up the 4 flights of steps. He was thorough in his explanation of all the features and the location of items in the apt. He contacted us via text part way through our stay hoping we were enjoying our time in Paris and to confirm our departure arrangements. The studio flat is small, however, it's just what we were looking for since ours plans were to visit as much of the city of Paris as possible during our week-long stay. The kitchen, smartly designed in such a small space, had everything we needed to prepare a nice warm breakfast each morning and was personally stocked by Emmanuel with some wonderful provisions - thank you! The "catwalk" terrace accessed through the kitchen window truly was a welcome feature after a long day of sight-seeing. The colorful table and two chairs was a nice niche to unwind with a glass of wine, discuss the day's adventures, and take in the neighborhood sounds before retiring for the evening. The pull-out bed, remarkably comfortable, provided a restful night's sleep. The bathroom is neat for such a tiny space. The only area that was a bit of a challenge is the shower since it is so small, but manageable. Our week began with cool damp weather and ended with a hot spell hitting the city. Since we were gone during the day we didn't notice whether the flat got warm although Emmanuel indicated that it can. He has an air-conditioning unit in the apt. that we didn't elect to use and instead found the floor fan to be plenty adequate to cool the space down. Overall, a perfect location for launching off each day to take in the sights and sounds of Paris.
