This is an outstanding value for the great location near the Tolbiac metro. Very interesting, safe neighborhood with loads of friendly, helpful people (I let my son go off on his own on several occasions without concern). On Thursday there is a great produce market nearby - got lots of great fresh produce for our stay. Great for those interested in experiencing Paris and getting a good nights sleep. I went with my 16 year old son. He slept in the bedroom and I slept comfortably on the couch ( I am 6'5" and ~ 295 lbs.) Coffeemaker was very useful also with a McDonald's nearby (great coffee as well). I would not recommend this place for those who desire a view of Paris as this does not have that. It is behind a flower shop and next to a cafe. The brand new shower was really welcome after walking around during the day. Would be interested in staying again in the future.
