Magical location! The door does open directly to the sidewalk but it is a one-way mirror so no one passing by can see in. The sofa bed was more comfortable than I thought it would be! More comfortable than American sofa beds for sure. Towels and bedding were good. Like most places in France, no top sheet- just bottom sheet and duvet (with cover). There was just one small roll of toilet paper and when we asked for more we were told to go to the store and buy more. But overall, a great choice!
