A quirky but comfortable place to stay, very conveniently situated. A couple of minutes walk from Colonel-Fabien Métro station, with bars, bistros and shops round about. Fifteen to twenty minutes walk to the Gare de l'Est and Gare du Nord. A very good base for exploring Paris.
The door key is rather stiff, but once you've go the knack, it's fine. Libia and Christian were very helpful the first evening when I got in a knot with it.
