Nice location. Very outgoing owners. They allowed us to check bags early. Two hop-on- hop-off close by. The big bus tour seem to ride later than lopen tour bus (we used this one) you can purchase tickets right by the Gare de l'est train station. Lots of stairs to climb to get to the flat. Staff very nice. Hot water did not last but 5 seconds; owner said they will fix. Great location and the fire department is close by.
