This place was perfect for me. Behind 3 doors I felt more than safe. Walkable to Gare du Nord. This gave me all access to everywhere else. It is walkable to the Louvre if you love to walk Paris as I do. Shopping and great restaurants near by. It was wonderful for me and the place was clean and inviting for one or two people. There is also a Monoprix right across the street that opens fairly early and a great little bakery in the next block that had the best goods for an early morning coffee. I loved everything about it.
