This ground-floor studio is excellently situated on a quiet street between the Place des Vosges and the Place de la Bastille (which is a mere 3 minutes away), with many good bistros and restaurants nearby. Bruno was very welcoming and helpful. It is spotlessly clean and well-appointed. However, there was one problem: the bed occupies the entire floor-space in the small loft and is reached by an open staircase with no handrail. It can then only be accessed by climbing over the foot of the bed. This makes it unsuitable for the elderly or for anyone with a physical disability.
