Great place to stay! the place is very close to lots of diners/restaurants, convenience stores. Coin Laundromat is directly outside the compound. Close to bus stops, and walking distance to metro stations and even Gare du Nord and Gare d lest. we felt safe in and out of that compound. comfortable bed just what you need after a whole day of sightseeing. great shower too! The kitchen is equipped that we were able to cook and save some money instead of eating outside. The place is typical Paris room. even though its small... it is clean and enough for 2 people as advertised and served the purpose.
