Really enjoyed our time here. Large, bright, open. After having stayed in smaller hotels the prior ten days, this was a very nice change. The contemporary decor was great. Loved sitting at the island planning our day over an expresso, as well as enjoying wine and charcuterie after a busy day shopping, museums, and just walking the area. Great location, right near a metro stop as well as shops, restaurants, and small markets. Easy walk to the Pompidou Center and a reasonable walk to the Louvre and upscale shopping. The balcony is small. We are small people so enjoyed the fresh air, a glass of wine, and watching the goings-on below. Larger people may be challenged to use it, however. This place was definitly one of the highlights of our trip, not cheap but worth it!
