I stayed here for only two nights so I didn't use any amenities in the kitchen (pots, fridge, washing machine etc.) but I think it's possible to use them if you need. The best thing this place can offer you is location. It is in 10 mins walk from Pompidu, 20 from Louvre and 30 mins from Musee d'Orsay. It's surrounded by various cafes, restaurants and stores. Be prepared to share a room with another person. If you're allergic to dogs, it might be not the best option for you since a giant fluffy malamute is living there :)
