Yes, this property is convenient to metro and 2 gares, and the price competitive, but the area isn’t quaint or nice. You don’t feel like lingering or soaking in the atmosphere at all. Room didn’t have certain standard amenities, like a tissue box, which is handy in the winter. I checked in quickly very late at night, but my check-in person never explained that the room key operated the elevator and the lighting in my room. It was a hassle to fumble around figuring this out on the fly with my hands full of luggage, especially at night in a dark room. Should be a standard spiel at check in. €12 breakfast good.
