The location is AMAZING. It was my partner's first visit to Paris and the location could not have been any better. The room was bigger than I thought, and communicating with Ines was a breeze. Building was quiet and in a residential area which made sleeping very easy. The shower, which is shared and quite clean, is in fact accessed through the guest room that you stay in but Ines made sure to use it whenever we were not around and it did not pose a problem for us at all. Will stay again!!!
