I wouldn't ever stay on or near the Champs Elysées - sterile neighborhood with not much going on and a hike to most places of interest. A "view" of it from an apartment is actually kind of comical...so you get to look out over a big wide street loaded with traffic.

Well, I think that everyone is entitled to like something or not, and also to have travelling preferences or specific needs. I am very pleased with my "kind of comical view" to the Champs Elysèes, which allows me to see the lights of the Eiffel Tower in front of me, to my right the Place de la Concorde, to my left the Arc of Triomphe. There is traffic, there is a lot of people walking, like in every other part of a turistic city. The subway can take me everywhere I want to go, or I can walk enjoying the city. Plus, as I have my daughter (almost 3-years-old) with me, it's very convenient to have a supermarket nearby, as well as other places that can cather what I need for her. And my view to the Champs Elysèes included a very good view of the president Mr. François Hollande on his way to the Arc of Triomphe.
Anyway, I think that Paris is big and friendly enough to accomodate different views and preferences. Ne c'est pas, StCirq?

I suggest The apartment Portrait of Paris www.portraitofparis.com we stayed here with 6 adults and two teens. The apartment is gorgeous. It is on Blvd St Germain at Rue du Bac. The location is wonderful.
