This is a fantastic place to explore Paris from. My wife and I stayed for a week in late November. Jean-Pierre met us at check in and check out and had good communication before and during our stay. Place is as described, the elevator in the building is a godsend after walking 10-12 miles a day. We used the washing machine which is great to have, and the towel heater is really nice. The kitchen and bathroom are tight but functional for 2 people. It’s a couple minutes walk to Goncourt metro station, ~10 to Republique or Belleville which means you can get anywhere in Paris easily. Lots of restaurants, bakeries, etc all within easy walk and minus tons of tourists.
