I had a lovely week in the little room looking at the rooftops. I was concerned after reading Antonio's comment, Bernadette greeted me warmly and made sure my concerns were met. I'm writing in English because I think the description is clear in French, so I hope I can help add some clarity for the anglos.

The room was very clean, and the wardrobe in the photo was replaced with a very handy shelf which held the hotplate, microwave, dishes and pots, guides to the neighborhood and also my books! (The bedframe is actually a lovely dresser, so you will have no trouble putting away your clothes.) Bernadette even set out cookies for my arrival, which goes right to my heart.

The neighborhood is fantastic - just steps from every sort of grocery store, and down the street from Bastille with bars and bookstores (and of course, the Opera...). Very convenient to Gare de Lyon as well.

The room matches the current description, and you will have a fine time if you know exactly what you are getting. The toilet is down the hall, and "à la turc" means it's a squat toilet - possibly alarming to Americans (speaking as one), but common elsewhere. You have a large, bathroom-style sink, but there is not a bathtub or a shower, so you have to be a little flexible about how you bathe. It's small, but if your suitcase isn't too large, it feels like just enough for a person travelling alone.
