Great for multi-generation families traveling together. The location is great, right on a busy square surrounded by cafes, ice cream shops, bakeries, etc. and situated between two great parks (Jardin des Luxembourg and Jardin des Plantes) both of which are in easy walking distance and wonderful if you're traveling with young children (huge playground and pond to sail rented toy sailboats in at the first. Zoo and natural history museum at the second). The location would be perfect were it not for a bar right across the street, whose patrons can get raucous late at night (the solution is to close the windows and turn on the AC, if for nothing else than the white noise).
