Two words: Location/Value. This place is right where you want to be in Paris. In the trendy Le Marais, on a street away from tourists and all the police, hobos, etc. making all the noise. It is right by a metro station and there are plenty of cafe and restaurant nearby. Be aware, the place is SUPER tiny, but it has EVERYTHING you need and is perfect for a couple. The studio is up a few flights of stairs but I actually prefer this because it reduces noise and makes me feel a little safer actually. It is self check in which I love and the building has very safe entry features which make you feel at ease leaving your valuables in the room. For the location and the price I will be staying here whenever my wife and I come back to Paris. Merci Beaucoup!
