Good accommodation as a base to explore Paris, as it's only 5 mins to the closest metro station. and only 10mins from eurostar. The neighbourhood isn't the nicest, but good enough, a lovely bakery round the corner. Is a bit noisy with the balcony doors open because it's next to a police station. Useful having 2 showers and 2 toilets. If you were planning on self catering on your trip this might be a bit tricky though as there was only a hob and microwave. It's a lovely view from the balcony, over the roof tops with a view of the top of the Eiffel tower, especially nice at night with its rotating light. But because of this view there is 6 flights of stairs to climb with no lift. Which is not fun. Lovely neigbour though.
