Some reviewers had complaints about the bed. It was a bit soft, but I slept well. The use of a kitchen was important to me. It was bit crowded with stuff, but was extremely functional and fun to use. The building itself, as well as the neighborhood, was extremely quiet. The location is awesome. It's a couple blocks from the Parc Montsouris-a great place to walk or hang out. And a block from a couple of great bus lines as well as the #4 metro line. It's an old building, so it may not be sparkling. But it was a charming experience. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
