The People hostel is a fun and nice place to stay at in Paris. Bercy is a little off the centre of the city but the hostel is very accessible with two metro lines 6 and 8 at a 3 minute walking distance, no popular tourist spot is more than a 30 minute metro ride away. Alex who manages check ins deserves a special shout out for truly making us feel at home away from home. He actually cares about you and makes sure you meet more people and feel a sense of community. I traveled as a solo female traveler and felt completely safe coming back late nights the city as well. The other travelers who come in are also interesting and it's a great way to connect.
