This is a beautiful place at an excellent price. There are several really good bakeries nearby and a canal just one block away which is a beautiful place to sit, read, or eat. If you want to see a less tourist-filled portion of Paris for a good price - this is a good find. The staff was very kind and helpful. Our room had a slight mold smell, likely from the angle of the shower head and lot of water falling to the floor - I'm not sure that every room has this issue.
