This place was awesome! I stayed here with a friend and it was exactly what we needed. A quick and easy walk from Gare du Nord and Gare de L'Est made it easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. Elle and Sebastian were great about staying in touch and had excellent recommendations for us. A restaurant they suggested -- Chez Casimir -- was our absolute favorite from the whole trip. The stairs are a little rough at the end of a long day, but honestly not as bad they sound. Plus, Sebastian carried my bag up the stairs for me when we arrived, which made things much easier. Overall, I highly recommend this place!
