We were met and welcomed by Melanie, who we understood to be Ben’s sister. She was very friendly and even came back later to make sure the Wi-Fi worked. The studio is small but well designed and well equipped. We had everything we needed. Its main asset is the location in a quiet residential neighbourhood, near three different metro lines, two of them just round the corner, making it ideal for exploring Paris. The shops and restaurants in the area are excellent, especially the nearby boulangerie and cheese shop. There are local,restaurants serving authentic French food of a high standard. There’s an extensive market on Tuesday and Friday and the people in the building are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much and would come back.
