We found this studio to be a great place to stay for our first trip to Paris. It's small but perfect for my husband and myself. So much thought was put into the layout and color scheme. You have all the appliances to be able to cook if you wish. Their is a beautiful stove, dishwasher, built in microwave. The kitchen is fully supplied with nice dishes, glasses and utensils. The shower was excellent with hot water and great water pressure. There is a washer/dryer available for small loads. I took my hair dryer since in all my travels hair dryers leave a lot to be desired. The hair dryer supplied here worked great. Information for the studio, how to use the TV, appliances and apt are supplied. Many maps, books on Paris, a book put together by Estelle and Erwan with suggested locations to see (with map) are readily available for you to read. This studio is off a nice, busy street but as soon as you go through the doors to the courtyard to the studio it is very quiet.
We loved that we were able to find grocery stores, restaurants, bakery and nice places nearby to stop and have a glass of wine. The Grands Blvd metro is very close. We walked to the Louvre (but being older, we took the metro back!).
