We had 4 great days in Paris and with a fine base in the room with Francesca. We didn't spend much time in the room but were all able to sleep well - dispite some noise from the traffic in the street. The door to the street had to be open due to the summer heat. With closed door the noise is probably less of a problem. We never saw Francesca, only briefly her other sweet tenant in the appartment. The room and the facilities are OK but not super - probably of normal quality for a small french appartment. We can easily recommend others to book this room. Its near presence to Metro, city and Gare de Lyon is just excellent.
