Amazing location, 2 blocks from the ledru rollin metro, and 5 min walk to Bastille- in front of the place D´aligre street market, around the block from restaurants, suppermarkets, grocery stores, washing rooms, bars, etc etc etc. locaion is not to be underestimated, everything is just meters away in one of the better parts of town- communication was optimal, as was checking in and out - 1st floor via stairs, not a problem at all. the place itself is as basic as it gets. no sorprises, nor good or bad. bed was really comfortable, bathroom was ok, nice table to eat or hang out, kitchen is really small . not suitable for anything fancy ( no oven, electric or microwave) , as others said the place is missing some hanging spaces. heating was very good. An overall good experience if you´re not too demanding. it is as advertised, and the hosts were really there everytime I- needed.
