The bed and pillows were very good quality. Very clean rooms. A family feel to staying in authentic Paris. Morning breakfast is fantastic. Most importantly, Margo likely saved us from pick pockets on the metro. She gave us detailed directions to get to montemarte but also warned us to use great caution on the metro. We had everything locked down (literally I had a combo lock on my bag) and sure enough a swarm of teenage girls crowded in to the metro then ran off last minute. We had watched videos about how this happens but it still surprised me when it did. A lady on the metro was very very upset. Yelling at them in French to leave. She and a gentlemen both were quite concerned that we had lost things. We reassured them they didn’t get us. The French people are very unhappy about these gangs of thieves. ||The only downside to this hotel is the same as all others in Paris. Having AC and being allowed to use it are two different things and like other places the AC cannot be used until it is 80F outside. We left the windows open for cooling and ventilation but it does make for a lot of noise. I don’t think anywhere in Paris would be quiet though. If you want quiet then you go...

My only regret is not taking more photos to capture how truly amazing this place is! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. Our host, Leo, welcomed us so warmly and made us feel right at home. Every morning, he prepared a delicious, fresh French breakfast that was such a special start to our day. He also gave us excellent local restaurant recommendations that made our Paris trip even more memorable.
Leo’s friend Demetri and his girlfriend were equally kind and friendly, and on our last day, Leo’s father stopped by to chat with us — such a sweet and genuine gesture that left a lasting impression.
One of the most touching parts of our stay was that Leo was the first person to congratulate my fiancé and me on our engagement. It meant so much to us and added an extra layer of warmth to the whole experience.
The location is perfect — central, safe, and convenient for exploring Paris — and the housekeeping was exceptional. Every detail of our stay was taken care of with love and professionalism.
