This location is ideal - one block to the river and 1.5 blocks to the Invalides Metro Station. The Eiffel Tower and the Orsay Musem are both with one mile. Also, the Invalides Metro station is an interchange station so you can get anywhere very easily. We got a multi-day pass and used it as much as possible. It even felt safe at night. Lucie was very helpful both before and during our stay. The early check in time is beneficial if you are flying from the US and your flight lands early. We were able to get settled, take naps and be ready for the evening. Our family of 4, including 2 teenage girls, managed to share one bathroom without any trouble.
