The studio is just as the photo although the photo doesn't give you an understanding of just how small this place is. Even so, it was great for a couple for 2 nights in Paris. It took us an hour to actually get in because we couldn't find the key box and didn't believe the door we were looking at was the actual door of the apartment (it looks a bit like a broom cupboard) but once we were in the apartment was very clean and the location fantastic. It was quite cold as we were here in January but the apartment was very warm. We didn't use the heater at all and had the windows open during the day. Only complain is the noise the other residents make in the morning coming down the stairs but that is a reality of this style of living. I would have no problem recommeding this place.
