Nice place located in the center of Paris. My girl friend and I walked and used the metro close by to get around the city. The traffic outside can get a little loud during the day and evening but calms down at night. Not sure if it was from the older infrustructure but there was a strong oder coming from the shower that may have been from the drains, making the bathroom a little unpleasant to use. Otherwise a great place to stay if your looking to be out and about to explore the city. I would recommend it to others.
