I loved the area (I also stayed in another area in Paris and this was way better!) the atmosphere in the area was exciting with lots of restaurants and bars and great bakeries. There seem to be alot of young professionals. The places he suggested for restaurants were all really good and very was very helpful, especially on my first night. Checking in and out was very easy and very accommodating with timing of it. This was exactly what I was looking for and where I think I would live if I lived in Paris :)
