This a tiny, spartan apartment with all the basics at a decent price for Paris. The best thing about the place is the location, which is a two-minute walk from a convenient metro stop. This particular metro stop is one or two stops from both Gare du Nord and Gare de l'est, so really easy easy to get into and out of town. Also, easy walk to Montorgeuil and into Les Halles, and also easy to Marais. Couldn't be better positioned to explore the city. The building itself and the entry area and stairs are all a little tired and dirty. The room itself was relatively clean and had all the basics, but nothing more. All in all, it was a good place to drop off your bags, sleep, eat breakfast, shower and then get out into Paris. If you plan on spending any extended time inside your apartment, then you might want something different.
