Xavier’s place is exactly as described. My room was clean, simple, secure, and a good sleep. The rooms are not fancy or full of frills, they are just what you need at a good value. The staff was very helpful. The location was excellent! Wonderful cafes and a genuine cheese monger right out the door. The metro and taxi stand were within five minutes walking. Fantastic restaurants of any style you would like are an easy walk. I highly recommend this location if you want to be immersed into a vibrant and wonderful area of the city.
