I had a wonderful long weekend here - and I can report that it is exactly as advertised. Beautiful, comfortable, and quite large (by Paris standards anyway). It is fully equipped with guidebooks and recommendations.
Literally steps from the Belleville metro - it's an easy walk to the Canal St Martin, Republique and the Haute Marais. Very trendy area with lots to do. I will be back again!
Matthieu is an attentive, gracious host.
