Vittoria was a marvelous host, very accommodating with regards to my late arrival and departure. The location was very convenient for me since I had a late arrival on a Friday evening fro Provence, the proximity to Gare de Lyon was optimal. Also being just a few steps away from the subway line 1 station it was great for sightseeing. There is no kitchen per se, but a fridge, microwave and other equipment and dishes for cooking. It was perfect for me. Bed is a large fold out sofa, but quite comfortable. There is a small elevator in case you have large luggage. No complaints! I hope to stay there again!
