We spent a wonderful 3 nights here and could not have hoped for a more wonderful experience of Paris . Travelling as a family of four this was a much better option than staying in a hotel and had much more charm . It was a little cramped at night with the sofa bed extended in the lounge but a small sacrifice for having a further seperate bedroom ( and the sofa bed was actually comfortable ) . The location was excellent and close to several train stations and a bus stop out the front . Lovely cafes and bars abound and an easy 20 min walk to Sacre Coeur. All amenities within easy distance . Mathilde was very helpful and check in was easy . For anyone concerned about the “ shared access “ this was not a concern as it it’s a shared branch door which then has another private access door to each residence . I would definitely recommend this . If you are a little on the claustrophobic side like myself - the small lift may not be for you ( I didn’t use it ) . Being on the fifth floor it was definitely a climb , but compensated for the pastries , wine and cheese consumed . Overall a wonderful stay in a great area .
