My host didn't greet me but his friend Fabienne was there on his behalf. When I asked about the breakfast she said "Parisienne's don't do breakfast. If you want breakfast you should stay in a hotel." As a result I had buy breakfast each morning. There was no mirror which made shaving and combing my hair a challenge in the morning. Although the description said that the unit was on the top floor it did not say there was no elevator and the sixth floor, one hundred and ten step walk up made it necessary to plan my day with as few return trips as possible.
The location of the unit was however ideal and walking distance to many restaurants and to the St. Paul Metro stop.
