a great base to sleep in after a long day out. It has all the basic amenities you need and even an emergency box in the toilet. Joan is also very respectful of your space and I had a smooth check in and check out process from the communications with Joan. If you are planning to shop a lot in Paris, it may not be so convenient to drop off your shopping bags at home and continue exploring as it is 30 mins away from 1st arrondisement - I just bring a foldable bag so I get to put everything in 1 bag and continue exploring the city. I highly recommend this place to solo travelers!
