Best BW in Paris with toddler
Hey guys, wife and I will be in Paris next Spring with the kids (almost 1 and almost 2 when we go) and was wondering if anyone could share experiences they've had at BW in Paris with kids. Any suggestions of places to stay would be great. Thanks!

I'm kind of late to the party here but OP, unless there is a particular reason you need BW (points?) I'd suggest considering AirBNB/VRBO. I rented an apartment in Paris and having the separate bedroom to put our then-baby son to bed in was fantastic. More room generally plus having a functional kitchen too was nice... we had a good-sized living room to spread out in. It was about the same price or less than tiny shoebox-sized hotel rooms. I'd urge you to take a look.

I realize views may differ on this, but I think anywhere in 1-11 is going to be central enough to allow for easy exploration of the city. I wouldn't pass up the 12-20 either if there was a good deal on a nice condo close enough to a Metro/RER.

The Best Western hotels in Paris are generally very nice. No matter where you book, be sure to explain that you have two children with you. Hotels in Paris are very strict about the number of people occupying a room.
I would be very cautious about renting an apartment in Paris. The city is very serious about removing illegal apartments from the marketplace. Basically, illegal apartments are those which do not have registration numbers displayed in their listings.

Agree with the posters above. There are some pretty good apartment deals in Paris. My family (three adults and one infant) stayed in one that was on Rue de Rivoli within walking distance from the Louvre. Surprisingly, at the dates that we selected (April 2017), Tripadvisor had better apartment rates than anything on Airbnb. A cot was provided for us and the owner was very responsive throughout the stay.
