Lovely place to stay! Rachel is a great host. It's spacious and really airy, you wake up in the morning with sunlight steaming in through the window which is great. Really close to Gare du Nord and 20ish minutes to the Louvre etc; good metro links too! It's not completely quiet at night/mornings because people going up and down the stairs but you get used to it quickly. Felt a bit unsafe in the area walking alone at night so would say to be careful, but on the whole a good place to stay!
