This place is SO CUTE! The bed upstairs is super comfy, and the curtains really block the light so you can have a solid night's sleep. The stairs are definitely steep, but they have plenty of hand-holds if you're unsure of your step. Even though you aren't in the heart of Paris, you have easy access to the metro, and you're just a short walk from both Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est, so it's really an ideal location if you plan on taking a train to continue your trip. I wish I could have extended my stay here, because the hostel we moved to afterward was nowhere near as cozy!
