Check-in and check-out was fairly effortless after communication with Maria and her sons. Our train didn’t leave until 6 PM, which is a few hours after check-out and they were kind enough to let us stay in the room until that time.
The room is small, but it has all the amenities needed such as fridge, shower, toilet, kettle, and microwave. It’s also very nice that it has a separate entrance so it felt more like your own hotel room than shared space.
Besides construction outside the window waking us up at the crack of dawn all 3 days, the only concern I had was location. There were many times I felt unsafe due to the rougher neighborhoods I had to walk through to get to and from the metro. There was a congregation of homeless people in the next alleyway over and when we walked through, they threw a water bottle at us. Overall, if you can avoid the sketchy areas, this is a good central location to get around Paris.
