Prime real estate location - literally steps from the Eiffel Tower - seemed like a secure/safe area (we only stayed one night). We received clear instructions on how to ck in, but keep in mind this is an ideal place for maybe friends or a couple w/ 1 child? It's very small but quite pretty and cozy. Host did ask me to not open the door to anyone who "knocked on the door", I thought that was random but thankfully nobody did so I didn't have to go through that awkward moment.
