Piétons in this area might cause you to faites attention. I stayed for 28 nights from December 2016 to January 2017, one of the coldest periods of the last 10 years. There was an issue the first 4 nights with insufficient heat from the radiator for my fifth floor room (no elevator) and as a result I came down with a head cold lasting about 10 days. Street views were good. Summer might produce a more positive experience. My room was then changed to one on the 3rd floor with more than enough radiator heat. Bring/buy your own body gel soap, shampoo, tissues. Metro station "Marcadet - Poissonniers" a block away serves lines 4 and 12. These lines take you easily to the 1st arrondissement where you can visit the Musée du Louvre, walk around the Jardins Tuileries, Concord, and on to the Champs-Élysées; or Île de la Cité to visit Notre Dame de Paris and enjoy some chocolat chaud, vin chaud, or crêpes from one of the many cafe/street venders. I used Metro week-passes (~20€). Half a block from the hotel there is a cafe where you can get a breakfast under 4€ comprising a decent cappuccino and one from variety of their croissants. Walk 2 blocks farther to a different access for the same Metro station and find there FranPrix supermarché: before 16h30 buy a prepared hot food to go for about 4€. In the other direction from the hotel, 1 building away is a very clean and small self-service laundry that wasn't busy (8€ for larger capacity washing machines).
