I often ask myself this question. After spending what amounts to a total of 24 hours (!) searching for a hotel in Paris for 5 nights, I've concluded that, yes, I do have some neuroses. In the end, I booked a hotel that I think fits the criteria of:
1. Located in a typical Parisien neighbourhood rather than a touristy area (it's in the Rue Monge area of the 5th arrondissement)
2. Reasonably priced (it's 79 euro a night)
3. Clean bathroom (all the reviews say the rooms are immaculate)
4. Basically, not a total dive (it's ranked 75 out of 1540 hotels in Trip Advisor)
Brian likes the hotel and I consulted my expert (Sarah Hosking, who lived in Paris for a few months last year). So, in the end, I think I made a good choice. I think. Aargh...what if it's not?! Then I wasted 24 hours of my time doing research! And I won't have a good Parisien experience! Oh look - there's that neurosis again...

I don't blame you for wanting the perfect honeymoon..I'm sure that all your neurosis will pay off in the end, but then again that's coming from a neurotic person herself!
