Really good value for money. In a good location in terms of access to/from Gare du Nord, right by a metro station (République), and on the edge of the Marais (NB. not IN the Marais, on border of 3rd/10th/11th). It IS very compact but was perfect for two of us. It is very well-provisioned with comfy beds, plenty of towels, good linen and a well-equipped kitchen and living area. Arnaud does mention it in the description but be aware that it is on the top floor with a long walk up several flights of stairs!
