Hello all
this is my first post on the Paris forum so apologies in advance for my vagueness (I am an Orlando regular! ).
Have booked a 4 day trip on the Eurostar to Paris but have no idea where to stay (will purchase a guidebook this week but help from those who know and have been is most appreciated)
What area do I stay?
Am travelling with boyfriend, both just 30. For the evenings , would like an abundance of restaurants on the doorstep to choose from and some nice scenery ,( pretty lit up buildings, river maybe, that sort of thing )and most importantly it needs to be a safe area. I plan to sightsee (obviously) during the days so will use the %26quot;train%26quot; so a nearby station would be highly useful . (we have to go to Disney one day so an easy stop for that would be good but not essential!)
Can anyone point me in the right direction so at least when im looking at the hotel reviews on TA I know whether im in a suitable area for us. Even better just recommend a hotel :-) (if it has a balcony superb - but doubt if my budget will allow - can go to £200 a night MAX )
I know this is probably a needle in a haystack question but would really appreciate some suggestions!
Many Thanks in advance........
Itinerys welcome also!

I suggest looking at accommodation in the Latin Quarter in the 5th. arrondissement. That area is well suited for visiting many of the main tourist attractions on foot and there are many things to see and do in the area itself.
My favourite hotel is the Hotel Résidence Monge (now called the Hotel Acte V) on rue Monge. It is a small budget hotel with simply decorated comfortable rooms (some with small balconies). There are 2 Metro stations within a 5 minute walking distance and there are many restaurants, cafés and bars nearby. Their rates are well under your £200 budget.

We just stayed for a second time at the Hotel Millessime on the rue Jacob in the 6th Arrondissemont. We paid 205€00 per night and this included breakfast and their tete-a-tete package if you stay at least three nights. It also gets you a pick-up at the airport, two bottles of wine, two tickets for the Seine boat ride, the Batteaux Pont Neuf, two vouchers for a drink at the sister hotel, and one days unlimited metro tickets.
The rue Jacob is in Saint Germain two blocks from the Blvd St. Germain and about three blocks from the river at approx the Pont des Arts. The next bridge oveer is the Pont Neuf so you are within walking distance of Notre Dame and the Ile St. Louis, the Marais, the Latin Quarter, etc. It%26#39;s an ideal location.

Don%26#39;t rule out the Marais area 3rd and 4th eme The buildings are some of the oldest in Paris and it%26#39;s quite charming. If you don%26#39;t stay here at least try to find some time to spend here. Below is a nice web site for different 4 star and 3 star hotels as well as some very nice restaurants. Hotel des Chevaliers is under going renovation, not a good choice for now. They even feature some properties on Ile St Louis, across from Notre Dame.
The 5th and 6th eme are very good choices as well. Metro stations and other forms of public transporation are everywhere, which allows you to see everything.
