I have been trying to bid for Paris for the last 2 weeks and have been unsuccessful. Since this is my first time to Paris, I prefer a centrally located hotel, near a metro station. So far, I have mainly tried only 3 zones repeatedly: Champs-Elysees, St Germain/Latin Quarter, and Les Halles. Today, I added Bastille-Bercy because I noticed a 4-star offered in that area that looked nice. I have avoided the Eiffel Tower region bc I dont want to end up with the Pullman Rive Gauche. My highest bid so far is 150. My maximum would be 180, and I prefer to stick to a 4 star, unless a 3-star would be significantly cheaper. Should I just increase my bid as I have been, or do you suggest splitting my stay for better results? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
