Tenants looking to study by day and still enjoy the best of Paris nightlife will find this studio apartment for rent on Passage Gustave Lepeu an ideal location.

The 11th arrondissement is one of the most exciting districts in Paris, especially if you’re a fan of music and the arts. Rue Oberkampf, a happening spot for alternative music and eclectic bars, is only a 15-minute bus ride from your studio. If cabaret fascinates you more than indie rock, the Edith Piaff museum is also nearby, although you might need to make a reservation. While this is an increasingly busy and trendy neighborhood, you can still mingle with locals if you head to the nearby Boulevard Voltaire. You won’t lack for history or great food and wine either. The neighborhood is dappled with wonderful little cafés, bistros and bars.

• Rue de la Roquette, a 6-minute walk away, is served by multiple bus lines that zoom you around to Gare d'Austerlitz and Champ de Mars, as well as two night bus lines.
• The Charonne metro station, on Line 9, is also only 6 minutes away.
• The closest mainline railway station terminus in Paris, Gare de Lyon, can be reached with a 20-minute walk.
