This was my first time in Paris using an AB&B. I didn't know what to expect but I think I got fair value for my money. Neighborhood appeared about average for a somewhat over crowded city--it took me some getting used to it. It is not the easiest place to get around at first. The people are friendly and the area is clean but somewhat old & well worn. It's a fact of life in a very old city. Overall interesting and colorful.
