We love the location of this place - within walking distance of the Saint Michel metro station and Notre Dame - lots of good restaurants around. We were very comfortable here. With the windows closed there was no problem with noise. Couldn't get the wifi password to work with our computer, but it worked fine with the smart phones. The stairs were steep, but doable. When we left though, it was a little difficult going down with 50 pound bags. We appreciated that we were met when we arrived, even though our train was 30 minutes late.
