When our taxi pulled up the busy boulevard and I saw the vacant storefront with posters and graffiti next door, I thought I had made a mistake. It has a narrow doorway in the middle of the block and no fancy signage, and it's easy to miss, as I did while walking back twice! It turns out that this is a really charming little hotel with a fantastic staff! They are gracious and accommodating, and were happy to speak with me in English, since my French is pretty bad. It is small and full of character and charm. Modern room decor and amenities. The location, it turns out, is excellent! Walk out the door to your right and you are a couple of blocks from the Seine River and Notre Dame. Out the door to the left and you're a couple of blocks from the Jardin du Luxemberg. In fact, the hotel is within walking distance to a lot of great sites and streets. Charming Cafes, parks, jazz clubs, churches and shops all around. We felt safe walking at all hours of the night. This is a great base from which to explore Paris. I will stay there again.
