The property was well maintained with touches of luxury that made our trip feel more special. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout. The bedroom was compact, but we were delighted with the balcony which had a Parisian feel, and the view of Gare de l'Est and the street were fascinating to watch. We had read reviews that there was noise from the street, as would be expected in such a central area, but the double balcony doors blocked the noise well, we could only really hear sirens.
The opaque wall and sliding door to the ensuite could be awkward if you are travelling as friends, but for me and my daughter it was fine, causing us a giggle when we arrived but it does actually give sufficient privacy.
