 Areas near the Champs Elysee are a bit scruffy but safe Area is expensive and people on the street are from one extreme to the other It was a bit dirty Not what we experienced forty years ago for sure 
 Concierges Dominique Charles Yacine and Patrice were extremely helpful and friendly Couldn t have done Paris without their help Breakfast buffet was excellent and staff were great Great cozy bar with great bartender Vincent
