My wife and adult daughter and I had a great time basing our Paris trip here. The location is actually quite nice, lot's of restaurants, bars and pastry shops, and convenient to metro. There is street noise with the restaurant below and the metro (lots of clickity-clak of rolling luggage on the cabal-stone streets. So if you want quite, this might not be the best place, but it didn't really bother us. Kitchen appliances are very nice and suited us fine - used the espresso machine each morning. One of the sofa beds was broken but the other was actually very comfortable, as well as the master bed. Nice sheets and pillows. Very nice TV - connect to Netflix and Spotify - listened to French Jazz station each morning. We found the area very safe and convenient. We had a great stay and highly recommend. One note, we were there in Nov, so lack of A/C was not an issue, but might be so during the heat of the summer as the large windows don't open.
