This place is extremely charming. It's smaller than the pictures suggest but has many pluses to counteract the few negatives. It's on a beautiful street. Now we've stayed in Paris on several occasions, always in good areas but that doesn't always guarantee a pleasant entrance at street level. It's like you're living in your very own little house absolutely dead center of the world's greatest city - just loads of charm and gorgeous huge windows that open up to the classic narrow street below. Facilities sufficient to put on a fancy meal for guests as we did - if cooking is your thing. A couple of minor negatives - it's four stories up, no elevator and very steep stairs but this only helps to burn off the croissants. The bed linen wasn't particularly fresh - smelt rather stale in fact however there was a generous amount of clean towels. And the shower is great - very rare in Paris we've found. You can't be a neat freak and have to be into rustic to love this place, not mind a little dust here and there. It's very much the real thing!
