I’ve lived in Paris and visit often for weeks even months at a time. With teens I’d say Latin Quarter or St Germain des Pres. Look for zip codes 75005 and 75006. I prefer the left bank bc it is very hip and fun (the Right Bank does have some hip areas but for a family I’d say Left Bank). The Sorbonne is in the 5th and so many young people about. And the Mouffetard is great for hole in the wall restaurants. We’ve stayed at Hotel des Grands Hommes next to the Pantheon in the 5th. PERFECT location with teens and I’m sure within your budget. Two rooms will be needed. If you can get a balcony room, it is worth the splurge.
