We stayed here on my first visit to Paris and were very pleased with the place. The pictures and description and previous reviews were accurate; the space was very clean and yet very cozy. It was a very charming gem in the middle of a bustling road of Paris. The location was perfect and central; we could see the louvre at the other end of our street just outside our window. While previous reviewers mentioned the lack of hot water (of which I was very worried), we did not experience a lack of hot water at any time during our stay. I also found the amenities provided very good, such as paper towels and a full-sized good quality hair dryer that was much better than the travel sized one I brought (so ladies, leave your hair dryers at home). Alain and his hosting team were very prompt in responding to any question that I had before we arrived and during our stay.
