Perfect location for exploring Paris. We wanted an affordable place to sleep/wash, and this was it! We walked around Le Marais, to Eiffel tower, Louvre, Pompidou centre, Saint Chapelle and Montmartre. (Also easily could have taken the metro to these places!). There is such a buzz around Isabelle's place but also on a quiet street with no outside noise disturbance at night. The place is small and clean, as described but it's all you need. I would recommend this place, and also the best bakery I've ever been to - Tout Autour du Pain nearby :) and Cafe Charlot for some great coffee.
