The mother greeted us and she was very kind and respectful. There was a language barrier, but there was no issue understanding what she was trying to convey. The place was a little smaller than expected, but cozy. Perfect for Paris, since you should be outside enjoying the sights. The right amenities needed for the morning and the night. Could have used a wine opener, but we managed to buy one for ourselves. A great place when it comes to location in the city. Almost everything is within walking distance.
