The room is in a family's house. The hosts are hospitable and lovely. The bedroom is on the third floor. Stephen carried my bag up and down for me. The room faces the street, so there is the sound of light traffic. The room has a closet, bed, desk and chair, and shelves. There are large windows (which open) along one wall, with heavy curtains to block the light. The hosts provided room in the refrigerator for me. The bathroom is shared with the family. The house is about a 5 minute walk to the metro one way, and about 7 minutes to the bus stop another way. The metro ride is about 30 minutes to the Louvre/Champs Elysee areas. The bus ride can be about 50 minutes, and is much more scenic. There are a few restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores nearby, and many within 2 metro stops.
