Fodor's Review:

To jump into an inexpensive Parisian fantasy, just climb the stairway to your room (there's no elevator) in this former 17th-century royal residence. Well-maintained by Madame Steffen, the endearingly odd-shape guest rooms have tiny nooks, weathered antiques, and exposed beams. Breakfast is served in the lobby or in your room. It may be modest, but it's extremely atmospheric.

"If you are looking for a true Parisian experience, filled with cafés and coffee and wine, an easy pace, and lively atmosphere you will love the 6th. I've been to Paris four times and have stayed in the 1st (convenient to tourist sites but very quiet at night), then the 8th (quieter, near some sites), and the last two times, I stayed in the 6th (near everything -- sites, shops, restaurants, bars, you name it)."[tab]-chumpzilla
