Great place to stay. Steps from the metro. easy walking to Montmarte. Might be nice for families with pre-teen or teen kids to know that the neighborhood is a bit risque with girly bars and sex shops along the block. We had some rowdy folks exit the red-light bar across the street in the middle of the night with a street fight breaking out. On one hand adds to the local flavor, on the other makes for an interesting conversation with my 11 and 14 year olds on vacation.
