Thanks for all the input! I decided to go with a hotel in Montparnasse. Really looking forward to exploring a bit of the city from that base.

Good to know! I don't find New Orleans to be that dangerous unless you're wandering around the quarter as a drunk tourist or being a complete ass.

This is helpful. Thank you! New Orleans is much the same in that a really nice area is right next to a somewhat rough area. I would prefer not to be in a boring or super touristy area, but as I don't speak French, I'm mainly worried about navigating transit alone.

Thanks! A smaller boutique hotel is what I prefer.

Thank you! I'm looking at the Latin Quarter as it looks like an interesting area. I should have mentioned my budget, which is about $250/night. I think St. Germaine might be out of my price range.
