I needed a place to stay in Paris that was close to Gare du Nord and this room was perfect. Nicholas is a great host and made sure I felt welcome and comfortable in the room. He invites you to use any communal spaces. There are no guest towels but he tells you that in advance so you can prepare anyway. The building has an elevator for those with luggage, so that was helpful. Overall the place is exactly what I needed - a clean and tidy bed to lay my head at the end of the day and close to many transport links to the rest of Paris and beyond.
