This was a wonderful place to stay, with both character and comfort in a great location. Although it seems quite compact, it's bigger than the pictures suggest, and while listed as a "private room", it's actually a self-contained studio apartment with its own front door. There was plenty of space for two of us, and a few things that made it even easier to live there rather than just sleep there: beautiful big windows, a good shower, separate loo, good wardrobe space, an iron and board, and good heating in such variable weather. Thank you Françoise for your help, we had a lovely time in Paris.
