We booked the Hotel Odessa for a 4-night stay in early April. With two kids in tow, our goal was to find an affordable option with room for everyone in a part of Paris that would allow us to access all the sights without necessarily being in the most popular districts. My wife and I had stayed in Montparnasse when we previously visited Paris, so we had an idea of the style of the neighborhood, but the Hotel Odessa was still a pleasant surprise for us. It checked all the right boxes - easy access to the Metro, comfortable, clean, and situated in a lively neighborhood with all the Parisian charms. On separate days, we had a farmers' market set up right in front of us, followed by a local artists collective. Hotel Odessa was a plus for our visit and I would recommend it to others.
