Both my love and I come from the hospitality industry. We were involved with cruise ships and inns. And we found Nothing negative about this wonderful slice of paradise. It was our first time in Paris and we wanted all the romance but also hoped for convenience to food and attractions. This wonderful suite offered all that and more. It was oh so quiet at night, there was amazing food and shopping on the street below and we wished we owned the place and could use it for a weekend retreat. The stairwell IS challenging, but also charming. We will return as soon as we can!
