I spent 2 days looking on line for a hotel during the two weeks of French Open thinking I had to be in the Paris city center. Considering my budget, all places within the city center may have been in expensive coupled with somewhat appealing pictures, however, I could not come to commit to any of them because of the negative reviews. That’s when I thought to go a little further outside the city center and discovered Vivaldi. Not one single negative review, so I took it. Very clean, firm yet comfortable bed. Be prepared to step carefully in and out of the shower. Close enough to city center that I could get my 10,000 steps a day in and then some. I learned the metro and caught cabs, no need to rent a car. I enjoyed Laura and her staff, all extremely courteous, friendly and very interested in my wants and needs and if mine, then yours also. Lovely stay and I will return.
