The studio is wonderful. It is very clean and the layout is welcoming. You will see Ismael's artwork on the walls. I found it very authentic. The location is great because you are close to tons of restaurants and cafes. The metro is about 8 minute walk from the air bnb and using the metro is very easy. I would suggest downloading citymapper to help you identify your best routes to places. Ismael is very patient and will explain everything you need to know. I would though practice your French prior to your trip :)
