This stay is in a marvellous location as we were able to walk to the most popular places along the Seine and the Metro is very close for any other destinations. Yes the bed is hard but surprisingly comfortable and the floorboards are noisy but it is an original 19th Century building and so hosts and guests have to live with it. The room is large with everything we needed. Communication was good with Mari, but as we were out every day we did not see her except on our arrival. We would definitely return and we recommend it to others.
