Great location near the metro but facing an inner courtyard, so it was quiet. The design of the place is fresh, fun and cleverly done. I had hesitated about the location, comparing it with places farther north, but the metro was easy and there are several restaurants next door and within a very short walk. It was more like a « home away from home » than we would have found in a more touristy or commercial area. Next time I’d bring fewer clothes/ smaller suitcase, though Emma’s friend carried my bag up the few flights. Neighbors from other floors quickly say « bonjour » when passing in the hall, which was very nice. so I was glad I’d practiced my best « bonjour » before arrival. We’re hoping we can return! ( We wish we’d taken pickpocket warnings more seriously. We made it too easy for someone to take my husband’s wallet from his back pants pocket when he was dealing with luggage , transferring from the metro to the RER to the airport. ) Other than putting his wallet somewhere safer, at least in his front pocket, we wouldn’t change a thing about our visit, except to make it longer!
