 the neighborhood about 2 blocks seem a little shoddy 
 First of all we had never been to Paris This hotel is a diamond in the rough Our concierge Lisa and the manager could not have been more helpful From showing on a map the exact way to take the subway or tube to all the historic places and to good places to eat I lost my phone and the manager showed us exactly how to use the computer for guests Breakfasts could be ordered in 3 different factions The subway is 2 blocks away so you can get anywhere easily There is a flea market about 4 blocks and it was fun Who goes to Paris for a flea market Just never know what is around the corner
