You can't ask for a better view than from the balcony at Bob's place! Space does have an elevator but was much smaller than I expected. This location is at least 20-40 minutes (through Metro) away from major Paris attractions. There are 3 Metro stations within walking distance (approximately 10 min) but those became monotonous after a few days. The bed and couch are not accessible at the same time (bed lowers onto the couch) but the bed was very comfortable and warm!
