If you are just looking for a place to sleep in Paris that is decent and cheap; this is the place. I really loved the neighborhood and convenient location but there are a few other things to note that I would have found helpful to know.
1. You can not keep food in your room and if you eat in your room you must dispose of the trash not in your room; but in another closet on the main floor. This made me concerned about mice or cockroaches since this was the first thing I was told. Rest assured; there were no mice or cockroaches.
2. You can hear everything. There is poor/no insulation; I heard someone getting sick for a few hours.
3. The shower situation was a little bit of a let down. It was smelly and not clean.
