Sam’s place is in an amazing location. Lots of restaurant options. We ate at Valentinos and Nelson’s, both very good! 10 minute walk to the Louvre, 15 minute (or less) to Sainte Chapelle and Notre Dame. Only small complaints were the showers and the noise at night coming from the bar across the street. We noticed weekends were worse than weekdays for noise levels. Just bring earplugs because can’t really beat this location!
