Charles's studio was a great fit for my wife and me. Charles accommodated an early arrival and we are very grateful for not having to lug around our personal items throughout Paris on our first day in the city. The entrance to the studio is secured, and the entire building looks beautifully aged. The studio has all the essentials you need for your stay (mini-fridge, microwave, blow dryer, umbrella, towels, shower amenities). Keep in mind there is no HVAC in the studio, however, there is a heating element available for use. You can hear neighboring units pretty clearly as well as the Metro line running (very faintly though from about 6 AM through about midnight), but the noise was no issue to us. A notice to other interested parties is that the restroom is what many would consider "tiny". The restroom size was no issue to us, however, bigger people may have issues with the shower's size. Aside from the compact size, the location of this airbnb is very close (and walkable) to the Eiffel tower. Metro and bus stations are only a couple of minutes away, these modes of transportation are easily the quickest way around Paris. A couple of blocks away were many cafes and restaurants. On the backside of this airbnb's street was a convenience store that served us well for snacks and drinks. Pro-tip: buy packs of water there so save on individually priced water bottles (You'll save up to 80% in this manner). Nearby, you'll also find Roy Chocolatier, which is an excellent choice to purchase gift boxes of several macaroons and chocolates if you're a foreigner looking for edible gifts. Overall, the stay was pleasant and no issues were experienced. I'd recommend this stay for practical travelers.
