Excellent location in the heart of Paris, calm and quiet, but still close to shops/ transit/ attractions, in an area that feels safe and is well kept up. The room is cozy and the climb challenging with baggage, but the staircase is wide and there is space to pause if you need to catch your breath, and since the building is secure you can make two trips if need be. The room is cozy, but with ample storage places for clothes, folded and hanging. The shelves in the tiny bathroom are very convenient- plenty of room for all your toiletries. The single window looks into a small central atrium space for the ground floor courtyard, but seated there in the morning you can set your coffee on the window ledge, read in good natural light, and see the red tile roof directly across- quintessential Paris! A mini-fridge has space for some essentials for quick meals and to chill small bottles of juice to slip into your pack before you head out to explore. The bed is firm, good quality and very comfortable; the feather pillows divine. Wall heater if you need it, fresh breeze through the window, good water pressure and quick hot water. Clean, functional, minimalist decor- but with all of Paris right out your door! I recommend this for solo or dual travelers who plan to spend their time immersed in the marvel that is the City of Lights, Culture and History.
