Cadet Residence is unpromising to look at -- one enters through a gate on rue Cadet, and through a courtyard surrounded by unprepossessing buildings. But the welcome is professional and friendly, greeted by the irrepressible Philippe who provides lots of good advice for those arriving after the gate closes at 6pm. The unit itself is very large; it even boasts a comfortable "separate" bedroom. The a/c is good and the wi-fi reliable. Very secure, as attested by the need to use one's keycard frequently, and, best of all, in the busy and varied little rue Cadet, a fifteen minute walk from Galeries Lafayette and the Opera, where there are several cafes, wine shops, etc., and a few steps from two nearby fully-equipped grocery stores so we could cook if we wished. A great find -- not cheap, but in keeping with hotels nearby -- and you are in Paris!
