Very good location; in walking distance to train stations (Gare du Nord/Gare de l'Est), so you can avoid the many staircases of Metro stations with your luggage ... The little studio is in a calm & charming courtyard with birds singing in the morning ... Neighborhood is dotted with Indian restaurants & shops - but it's perfectly safe for women travelling alone. Most importantly on trips, shower & bed are nice & comfortable. The host is friendly and approachable - the check-in was easy. Value for money is fantastic.
