Hi everyone,
I recently received great advice of where to stay in London. I was wondering if anyone knew some specific hotels or apartments to stay in Paris or Rome that don’t cost much and in a good location for a person visiting for the first time? Thanks
Anyone Have Good Places for First Time Travel in Paris and Rome?

Hate to say this but time travel is still not yet possible
That’s the way I read it too
Time Travel????
Sygic Travel
I use Sygic Travel to identify sights in cities.
For Rome:
https://maps.sygic.com/?utm_source=content-pages&utm_medium=…
Zoom well in so all photo icons are displayed.
Click on each photo icon and read description.
If you think you would like to visit click Add to Favorites.
Once you have selected all Favorites click on Favourite (red border) and Add to Trip.
It will generate a walking route that you can print to PDF or paper.
There is a free app but you have to buy it to be able to transfer walking route to phone.
KML
As an alternative, I have generated a .KML file that you can load into GMaps on your phone.
I think it is in walking order for a two day visit starting from the hotel we stayed at, not that you'll be able to see that in GMaps.
Remember to download offline GMap for destination cities so you don't use data to view route. You can't get walking directions while online but can get driving directions which give you a general idea route; just don't take any notice of one way streets.
Copy everything below the dotted line and paste into Notepad.
Search and Replace [LT with less than symbol and GT] with greater than symbol.
Save as Rome Sights.kml.
Load into Google Maps

[LT/kmlGT]We stayed at dolce casa colosseo in Rome.. price was good, nice apartment, washing machine, kitchen. They gave us prosecco chocolates and lemon cake.
It’s a little on the edge of the main area, but we walked most places with the kids.See https://www.booking.com/hotel/it/dolce-casa-colosseo.en-gb.h…
May be cheaper to book direct, but they were lovely
I would look at Air BnB. If you can get a reasonable cost apartment stay near Les Halles. The last place we stayed out was cheap but 5 floors up, without an elevator, and no air conditioning.
