This is a ground floor room in the St. Antoine area.It is an exciting and diverse area away from the tourist attractions, but very close to the metro stop. We enjoyed the area quite a bit. There was a great farmers market and good places to eat and drink close by. The building is secure with three locking interior doors and it is quiet.It is a great value in an interesting, diverse area of Paris. Carole is excellent at communicating and helping with directions.
