This is a great, great, great place! We were so close to everything. I don't think we took the train once until we left Paris. It was a perfect spot for our first time in the city. It's basically across the street from the Louvre, and just a little farther from the river. Everything was so accessible from this location. Johanna was wonderful and gave us some tips for staying in the city that came in handy. I can't recommend this place enough! Would definitely stay here again.
