The location is excellent for those who prefer convenience. The Aligre market of course, grocery shopping, a laundry, and, public transport are all around the corner. The place is clean, and the bed is comfortable. I heard school kids scream, and the staff of two bars downstairs put bottles in trash carts. Both were acceptable. Remember that this nice cozy place is minimalist. For those who may care, there is no place to hang things like suit or overcoat, nor any microwave oven---too easy to get a hot drink downstairs.
