Four of us stayed for one night and had a lovely time. Perfect location and takes about 15-20min from Gare du Nord.lots of cafés and bars pretty much as soon as you step out. Gilian sent me all the info for the opening the door few days before the booking day. It was easy to open but a bit difficult to lock, the cleaning lady who stayed next door helped us to close. We were also able to leave our bags with her the next day. It's quite cosy for four. Two of you should be not so tall for sleeping downstairs. We had very comfortable and quite night . We were wishing for a full length mirror. Overall had a lovely stay.
