Place is in better and safer part of Paris! Is is small one with some cigarets/tobacco smell inside. The guy who takes care( not owner) is nice very friendly and is trying to be helpful. Be aware that hot water is running on some kind of wird system and you have only limited amount per day! Kitchen is not equiped for longer stay, but hopefully it will improve in future. @ the end, my 10 day stay was OK, but nothing special.
