When traveling, you must make priorities. My priority was location and security. Anything else was a bonus. There are three locks and a concierge before you get to the unit. The lobby is even better than the pictures. This was an ideal place for me because I got up and made some breakfast in the morning. Then I headed out to walk the entire city and came back to a very comfortable mattress. Earplugs are truly recommended. A Bathtub in Paris is a real luxury. High ceilings but the unit is older. And we all know ikea furniture does not wear well. Easy access to convenience stores, a patisserie, cafes, stores and the Metro.
