This place was great! The location was perfect for us. A few steps across the street to Gare Saint Lazare which made it easy for coming and going out of Paris. Our room was large and exactly as shown in the pictures. The bathroom had the best shower ever with multiple jets. And it was good size too which you know is not usually the case in Paris. However note that the toilet is not in the adjacent bathroom but is outside the bedroom. Catherine is a wonderful host. She ever offered to sew a button on my husband's pants and then gave us her sewing kit so we could do it. She provides a traditional French breakfast with bread and her homemade jellies. Her melon jam is fabulous! She was so friendly and helpful that I felt like she was a good friend by the time we left. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay there and will stay there again.
