I stayed in Nicole's studio for a month and did not find any inconveniences — the location is central and within walking/biking distance to museums, cinemas, restaurants and cafés, the metro (Mabillon, St Germain and St Sulpice); it is only up two flights of short stairs with the feeling of inhabiting a traditionally-built medieval building; the ceiling is very high and the room feels very spacious; the kitchen utensils are stocked; the windows are large and also amazingly block out most noise from the street (my stay was during the Euro tournament but I wasn't disturbed with the windows closed); and Nicole is extremely responsive with any questions or concerns that one may have. Recommended and would love to stay here again.
