Excellent place for a short stay in Paris, ideal & cosy with two (young) kids. It is ideally situated close to Bastille, with easy access to all the interesting sights. It is quiet at night, we didn't hear a sound, just some sounds in the morning of the rubbish bins & the apartment upstairs but that didn't bother us at all. It felt like we had our own pied à terre in Paris, much nicer than staying in a hotel.
