This is in an excellent location if you really want the “real” Paris experience. Lots of neighborhood bars, cafe, restaurants and shopping and a quaint street full of butcher shops, markets and bakeries just a stones throw away. No tourist BS here. The metro is about a 10 min walk in either direction on the Main Street and you can get most places in the city on just a few quick train rides. You will have to most likely change trains, but it’s no big deal when you get the hang of the amazing Paris metro system. Rooms are a bit old and dated but definitely have charm to them. There are zero English tv stations which I enjoyed. If you have a lot of luggage good luck. You may have transverse several flights of stairs. Staff is extremely kind, English is commonly spoken, avoid the breakfast. There are a few really good bakeries near by that open around 630-7. I lived on au chocolate croissants and all the delicious breads. Area seemed safe and upscale. Besides a small handful of rude Parisians who will bump you on sidewalks most everyone was kind especially the older Parisians. I would love to stay again.
