The location is very nice, in the Marais but not on the noisiest streets. The place was pretty quiet, too, since it faces a courtyard and not the street. However, it's tough to describe how small it is compared to the pictures. The loft for sleeping in particular is teeny-tiny. Waking up and having to climb down a steep ladder in the middle of the night is no fun.

The hosts are very pleasant and helpful. the place was clean and had free espresso coffee. It's just the size and the loft that made me rate it only average.
