The studio is a very good value and well located. In the Marais district and close to Ile de la Cite', Ile St. Louis, the Latin Quarter, and the Louvre. Close to bus stops and Metro stations for travelling to other parts of Paris. There is a very strong cafe' life in the neighborhood, and restaurants and brasseries nearby are plentiful. Julie is very responsive and helpful. Hard to beat this location for the money. You do need to be in good physical condition to walk up four flights of steps. Our experience at the studio was very positive.
