I would recommend Alex's place. Nice friendly welcome. Alex is easy going but also attentive to your needs. In the room, there is a kettle and a complementary tray which was quite welcome. Comfortable room with big television screen and a comfy bed too. Very close to eating places and 1mn walk to the metro/RER Bibliotheque Francois Mitterrand and the banks of the Seine (50mns walk along the Seine to Notre Dame).
