This studio is located exactly where I like to stay when I visit Paris! This is one of the most welcoming and safest neighborhoods. There is a WONDERFUL piano bar (Aux Trois Mailletz) a 1 minute walk away and I always feel safe walking to and from there at all hours (they’re open until 5am). Stephane recommended a little Lebanese restaurant downstairs and it was really nice on days when we were seeking easy take-out yummy food!

The fully stocked kitchen and nearby grocery stores (there are several) made it easy to cook meals (and purchase more toilet paper, coffee, etc). Some things were already stocked so having the ability to make coffee, sugar, and tea after the flight was great.

Stephane greeted us upon arrival and carried our luggage up the sometimes narrow staircase. Paris is the walking city so we weren’t intimidated by having to navigate the 3 flights of stairs everyday. Extra exercise! Stephane was there again when we were departing to carry the luggage back down and help us with the taxi he called for the airport. Note* when a taxi is called the meter starts at ten euros. There was traffic in the morning so if you don’t have a lot of luggage take the train!

My mom slept in the queen bed that disappears up to the ceiling when not in use, making the studio feel much larger by day! The bed is very firm and the pillows are thinner than we were accustomed to. If this is important to you bring your own pillow. Stephane generously provided a twin sized air mattress but as a side sleeper I actually found the small love seat quite comfortable. The windows offer a wonderful view and when open the sound of the city was something we enjoyed. We were there August 26th - September 9th. The weather was a little hotter than I’m used to (I normally visit later in September) but the apartments temperature was comfortable during that time.

Stephane was very responsive and positive. I would recommend him and the apartment 100%
