For my first trip to Paris, solo, I researched a lot and ended up in the perfect hotel in the perfect neighborhood for me! As I had an early arrival, To get my bearings I walked to Notre-Dame, by way of Rue Mouffetard (a street that made all of my food and drink dreams come true ... I walked up and down the street at least twice a day, every day of my six day stay, eating my pastry of choice every morning in front of Saint-Etienne du Mont and multiple times crepes at Crêperie Pinocchio )! When I was able to check in, I was met with a perfect room for my stay! The staff was wonderful, accepted my limited French speaking abilities and helped me in English when I needed help! I didn't get a chance to try all of the Hotel's restaurant recommendations, but, of those that I did, I wish they were where I lived, namely Il Etait un Square (Tar Tar, excellent) and Le Vieux Bistro (I'm still eating my meal in my memories, French Onion Soup, Beef Bourguignon, Apple Tarte Tatin) - food and staff, excellent! I didn't take advantage of the Hotel breakfast as there were too many boulangeries for a boulangerie lover (a few of my favorites Boulangerie Akiko et Philippe Bruere and Le Fournil de Mouffetard)! What I'm trying to say is the Hotel is wonderful, the staff is wonderful, the neighborhood is wonderful and if I'm lucky enough to find myself in Paris again, I'll be staying here again!
