This place is great - the photos are accurate, the location is really good, right by two of the biggest stations in Paris and an easy walk to the river and everything else you would want to see. Other reviewers note that the stairs are steep, and that's definitely true. The only other note is that if you're more than about 5ft10 you're not going to fit in the top floor - the ceiling is low. Also, the place is in a private gated street, so very safe. I would come back!
