The demands were to have a Parisian feel, with lots of restaurants around, and the ability to walk to most of the sights. A 30 minute stroll gets you to all of the popular attractions, but the beauty of it is that when you're done, a 30 minute walk gets you back out. Youre right in the center of the city, but when it's time to relax, you're in a much less overrun Paris. Cecile was a great host, concerned with a smooth check-in, and check-out. Very quick to respond when I had a problem with the key, and then she left me to my vacation. It's a great choice.
