We stayed at this studio for 10 days in March for our 20th anniversary and loved it. The apartment is just as pictured; definitely compact but spacious enough for 2, especially when we were only there to sleep or relax with a glass of wine before we went back out for dinner. There are modern touches and the small space is definitely utilized efficiently. I agree with another commenter that the bathroom is tight, being set up directly behind the sliding wall that the couch is against in the pictures. The shower is huge (by Euro standards), but the toilet/sink area is pretty tight (ie, you can use the facilities but not change clothes or do much other than wash your hands). The stairs to the loft are best not negotiated after too much wine (!) because they're narrow and more akin to a closed in bunk bed ladder, but the bed is comfortable and there was an abundance of pillows and throws to use as well. The apartment is right off the Bastille Metro and surrounded by wonderful restaurants within walking distance in the event you don't want to wander too far. We were unable to meet Claire & Xavier, but communicated with Xavier several times throughout our stay, who was very accommodating when we arrived earlier than expected. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and would definitely consider booking again on our next trip to Paris. A bientot!
