Penelope's step-son Matt welcomed us into the studio at Bastille and he was really awesome. The apartment is renovated in an old building. It is 0.4 miles from Monoprix St. Antoine and also about that distance from the Bastille subway station. In other words, the location is excellent. The shower is small but you can tell that from the photo. I think the location is really excellent and the apartment is tastefully decorated. Penelope was responsive and made sure to follow up with us and resolve anything. For example, there were no lids but several pots for cooking, so Penelope did provide lids which my parents and I found helpful and appreciated. I think for 3 people, depending on their dynamics and what they want to do, their sleep pattern, and length of stay, this studio could feel a bit tight, but it worked for us.
