The studio is a cozy and charming little place in a very convenient location. It’s amazingly close to Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est, in close proximity to the canal St. Martin area. There, you’ll find a good range of places to eat and drink. The boulangerie next door is amazing.
The studio is small and basic. It has the essentials: a small kitchen, a table, TV, a very good internet connection and a sofa bed that turned out to be quite comfortable. The bathroom is small, but very clean and fairly well renovated. The only problem is the place still smells of cigarette. It has clearly been cleaned, but the smell lingers and that can be off-putting.
Bruno is an excellent host. Friendly, punctual and always aware of the well-being of his guests. Communication was good, even though my French is basic (nearly inexistent, to be honest). It’s a good place to stay for a short break.
