Location, location, location! This place is in an amazing area, close to so many things. Olivier was very kind and helpful, meeting us on the street when we were confused about which door it was (no number...) and had a million suggestions on where to eat, what to do, etc. The room was filled with books on Paris, maps, and other doodlings from guests before us, which was fun. Bed was one of the most comfortable we slept in during our whole trip. Building itself is very rustic and the street noise is at times intense, but what one would expect in a vibrant area like this. The stairs are no joke....100 of them and while Olivier made it look easy we were pretty winded, haha! Something to keep in mind if your knees aren't good. Not a deterrent though, and would recommend the place to a single person or couple who are looking for a lively parisian experience.
