Best location ever! Love the area. Within walking distance of the beautiful Place sea Volges. Very popular streets for locals, full of little restaurants, the prettiest one is called Marianne. We had the best falafel wraps ever in Rue sea Rosiers and some Galettes Bretonnes just up the road, there is a backer and an ice cream place just in front and all sort of little pretty shops.
During summer you can hear people in the streets below until late, but it's not loud and people are not drunk and disorderly. It's just very pleasant. We loved every second and we'll stay longer next time. The only piece of advice I would give you is avoid one big piece of luggage that weights 30 kilos, and rather use smaller, lighter bags, as the stairs are ancient, tiny and there is no lift. But this only adds to the experience. You can imagine the lives of the people who lived here hundreds of years ago. Super cool place.
