I had a pleasant and enjoyable stay. Suits independent travellers or people looking to explore paris from central location for not too much expense. Only tiny issues were location of flat - be aware 24 bis is not same as 24 on the street (if you're tired you'll make the same mistake as I did) and the old lift makes a bit of noise during night (although I only noticed because I'm a light sleeper - earplugs solve this easily). Metro is very close and there's some places to eat and drink and be social on next street. Generally was a very nice pleasant stay. Would recommend!
