Location is great, yes, but beware - First, the room is on the top floor of the building, and the elevator is so small that it's not even worth using. Not even room for one person and luggage. The only other option is 8+ flights of narrow, century-old stairs to get to the top and it's grueling with luggage. Second, the couch "bed" is not usable - too uncomfortable to use and we had to put the mattress on the floor. Third, Philippe is a bit of a jerk. Every time I communicated on the phone with him he was rude and condescending. The icing on the cake was when he sent his maids into our room to clean an hour before the scheduled check out time. I came back to the room to find two strangers who had gone through my personal belongings and wouldn't leave when I asked them to. Needless to say I was pretty upset. When speaking to Philippe on the phone, he had a "too bad just deal with it" attitude about the situation. So in short, you'll be right at the base of the Eiffel Tower, but is it worth it?
