We only spent one night at Benoit's but we made the most of it.

We arrived, not knowing exactly what to expect, but Benoit's instructions were very clear. We rang for the landlady who tended to the place, she arrived within a few minutes. She was very nice and very hospitable. We arrived earlier than she expected, but she gave us some time to settle in and put our bags down before she cleaned out the previous guests' mess.

The location suited our needs. We were able to have a nice, 20 to 30 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower, and the area is within minutes of great cafés, high-end shops and some greenspace. The area seemed pricey, but we didn't spend enough time to explore. (Near the end of our trip, we stayed in the Latin Quarter, which seemed much cheaper). However, if you want to live like a real Parisien, Benoit's seems like the ideal option.

If you like next to no noise, an authentic experience and no headaches, stay at Benoit's.
