Loved the location and room! Bring your own toiletries/soap!
Pros:

Amazing location, charming, in the middle of everything. Easy to access if you get the app. Great customer service! Beautiful room!

Cons:

The bed was two twins pushed together so it is hard for couples. The mattresses were 6” apart by the time we woke up and we would roll into it. Also, no shampoo/conditioner/extra towels.

Расположение отличное, если приезжать ненадолго. Нужно иметь ввиду, что это очень шумный район и днем и ночью.
Pros:

Весьма удобные и симпатичные апартаменты! Удобное и понятное заселение.

Pros:

En plein coeur du quartier Gothique

Cons:

Le bruit de la rue surtout la nuit, mauvaise isolation des fenêtres, poignée de baie vitrée cassée. Au premier étage donc manque de luminosité. Équipement de la cuisine très restreint.

Sometimes location isn't everything
Pros:

The room is cute, and the lil balcony is nice. Nice big king size bed. The location is great if you want to be in the Gothic Quarter and close to everything however, it comes at a cost...

Cons:

The location while great in theory, is awful in reality. You can hear everything from the street below. The door/window to the balcony offers no soundproofing so it sounds like everyone is walking right past your window. Cars zooming past, intoxicated people shouting and laughing - and this went on until 4am on Saturday night and at least 2am every other night.
On top of that, the people above, well I'm not entirely sure it was people or horses stampeding. At one point they were either running or having some wild fun times. And at 1am they decided to move furniture around or something.
Then, the people in the room next to us (2 rooms on the floor) were clueless about holding the doors to stop them banging. So every time they were in and out of their door then the stairwell door or the lift door, bang bang bang.
Then the garbage trucks or something would come at like 1 or 2am.
So, if you like sleep and prefer reasonable quietness say between 11pm-5am at least, this is not the place for you.
