If you are going to explore Paris, Gabrielle's is a perfect location! Size, accomodations, the art, quiet location, the welcome, everything is awesome. Paris has a good transport system too and so you are close to several Metro and bus lines (the Eiffel Tower is an easy walk too!). There is a nice grocery store across the street and great cafes near as well. If I'm back in Paris, I'd stay there again for sure...
