This is a great place to stay while you are on a trip to Paris. It is bang in the middle of Paris' night life, with plenty of restaurants and bars at a stone's throw away. Ruth is very prompt and responsive to all your needs and there is a caretaker who helps with the cleaning and maintenance of the place. While I was there, I made some great friends. And interestingly, many people were staying for long stays like a month or more. So you end of being friends with the the other guests. Overall, a good place at an affordable rate and located just a minute away from Rue-Saint-Maur and Parmentier metro stations!
