For a simple bright place to stay this is perfect. It is located in a great area with ease of access to many cultural parts of Paris and the river Seine. There are interesting organic foods shops nearby, bakeries, a bar cafe opposite and the metro also close by- so life is easy! This is a place for people who can make their own experience. It is also very convenient for the eurostar as Gard Du Nord is just a few stops away direct or you could even walk!
