This is a great place to stay while sightseeing on a budget. It is a short walk to Trocadero which has the best view of the Eiffel Tower for pictures. The metro is right there too. We used a hop on hop off bus, Bug Bus Paris, and it has a stop there also. There is a grocery store literally next door. We bought the supplies we needed to have all the meals we wanted. The bakery within walking distance was heavenly. Good restaurants if you want to go our, especially Le XXV for pastries for breakfast. For Americans remember it's Europe so no air conditioning. But a huge window and a good fan!
