The place feels more like a hostel due to the fact that there are other guests utilizing the other rooms and sharing of the bathrooms, which was never an issue for us, but it is something to consider. Location is great! about a 10 minute walk to the Metro. Quiet area- near Arc Truimf. It definitely is clean. the bed sheets aren't too warm (only matters if you go in the winter). There is a city tax, and you will be charged upon your arrival. He will provide a map and mark some popular spots, very thoughtful.
