Nicolas is nice. Location: near both Metro - Etienne Marcel & RER -Chatelet Les Halles, this saves the hassles changing trains if one is not familiar. Stoves with basic kitchenware and washing machine are helpful for budget travellers. Can tighten up tidiness a bit then that would be perfect. (unknown clothings in wardrobes, full ashtray at balcony, not a big issue though.) Given the location, space & price, it's been a pleasant stay.
