Le Petite was a wonderful place to stay. The staff was friendly easy to communicate with whether you know French or not. Anytime we asked for help they would do everything they could. I spoke with 3 different people when setting up my reservation and all 3 were kind and quick to respond. The rooms are very tight but also cozy, comfortable and had what we needed.
As for as location you can not bet it! It was in the middle of everything. I highly recommend Paul for a quick pastry and coffee, Bistro 1 for a delicious meal and good atmosphere, BO&MIE for a pastry, desert or coffee (the curry quiche was magnifique) there are plenty of quick service restaurants around Rue de la Harpe as well as jazz clubs, dance clubs and bars. You’re a 5 minute walk to the Siene and just a few more to Notre Dame and Saint Chapelle. There’s a larger convenient store around the corner MONOPRIX and a pharmacy down the street from it. Honestly I’m not sure I could have stayed in a better area.
