This is a very compact and efficient studio in the heart of the Marais. We had everything we needed, including a washer to do a small load before traveling on. Isabelle provides great information and tips, some handy plug converters, a really nice hairdryer, plenty of hangers and storage considering the studio size, an AC we did not use but a nice fan that we did. The only negatives were the bed was a bit creaky so noisy if your partner moves or gets up, some neighbors were up late smoking and noisy (especially the American lady who stood by her open window and held a loud 25 minute phone conversation) but this is beyond Isabelle's control - life in the city. The wee shower was difficult for a short person; I used the hand held part to not drown. Checking in and out was easy, Metro and cafes nearby, and our stay was great. a la prochaine Paris.
