The room is very comfortable with excellent lighting, facing a quiet street with only light foot traffic of homeowners. Everything is clean and the bathroom is new. This is a lovely place to stay in the 13th ARR. I was able to make light use of the kitchen for boiling water for tea, which was all that was needed for me. A good boulangerie on the corner is open five days a week. Short walk to Tolbiac station. A good open market can be found on Place d'Italie. I recommend the Basque restaurant Chez Gladines as your first meal stop in the neighborhood.
NOTE on prepayed SIMM cards: in France it is a bit of a pain. In general you go to TABAC shops until you find one that has a plan that is reasonable.
