 The area is crowded with too many people small local shops that aren t the kind you want to be a tourist at its noisy all the time and most things shut very early with the exception of street side bars unlike a lot of the other places in Paris They don t place a kettle in your room and other amenities along with towels bed room slippers bath robes and hot water for tea were either out of stock or took too long to be sent to our room The standard room for 2 people is too tight and might be fine for one person If you re going to Paris and you want to have a pleasant time book a place in a more touristy area so the places around you stay open and is a safe place even at night Also be VERY careful about your belongings everywhere holed your bag to your heart 
 I stayed here with my dad for 3 nights and I wouldn t recommend this area for first time visitors to Paris The staff was very helpful with directions and other information needed But they seem to be either understaffed or have people who don t speak English at all because no one but the front desk pick up calls so you have to request all your house keeping and food information there They too sometimes don t pick up The rooms and bathrooms were well maintained and were very clean and tidy but are very small The location is good as the metro in a two minutes walk and there s a big bus stop near by too
