A great central location with a supermarket immediately below. All we needed for a comfortable affordable visit to Paris. Combined with a metro pass and the museum pass we were all set for a wonderful week. You might want to think about packing an extra towel. The kitchen has everything one needs for self catering including a Krups coffee maker. We took a taxi from the Paris Nord (eurostar) and it was 11 euro. But we couldn't get a taxi back as they were either booked or wouldn't stop - wish we'd booked ahead - its a long walk with luggage.
