The location was perfect for us, a quiet neighborhood where you could experience Paris as a local instead of a staying in a crowded loud tourist area. Groceries, bakeries, coffee, and restaurants are all within a few blocks of the flat. École Militaire metro stop was about 1/2 mile away (8-10 minute walk). You are only a few blocks away from the Eiffel Tower and it was a delight to see this majestic icon nearly everywhere you walked in the neighborhood... not to mention the incredible view from the window in the loft (the nighttime light show was particularly spectacular). All the descriptions of the flat were accurate and Claire was a very hospitable and ultra responsive host (her & her husband live in the flat next door). Just a tip but I found the sink up in the loft to be more functional for washing your face & shaving. Overall, I highly recommend this studio.
