Overall a nice intro to Paris: centrally located to a number of Metros, bustling shopping and food, a view from the balcony that couldn't be beat. The drawbacks have already been mentioned by others and will be different for each individual of how much they affect your stay, such as the very firm bed, teeny (for now) bathroom, and raucous cafe square nightlife. We had the bad luck to fight jetlag (9 hr shift) during the warmest months when there are nightly group singalongs until 3 am, but some are more agile travelers than us. Coordination of arrival/departure was very easy, and Milena was very nice in greeting and seeing us off.
