The neighborhood is wonderful, very close to the (walking friendly and photogenic) Canal San-Martin. The room is also VERY convenient to the metro, or if you're a walker, it is a pleasant and safe (~45 minutes) to Notre Dame.

The room itself is colorful, comfortable, and much bigger than I was expecting from the pictures. And the bed was very comfortable and plenty big enough (and I am 6' 2").

But best of all, Annick was what really made the place perfect. A wonderful and warm host, who was helpful and friendly at every turn. She even helped me find one of the best cafes that I found, during my entire stay in Paris - just a 5 minute walk away.

I couldn't imagine a better, more authentic, place to stay in Paris.
