Monique was a very welcoming host to my mother and I. Having experience with guests for many years, she knew exactly how to make our stay smooth and comfortable. We had a very restful stay. Our window was in the back of the building away from the noisy street of the main entrance. The place is at walking distance to major touristic attractions downtown, only 15min to Louvre, 10min to Notre-Dame, and 1minute to Centre Pompidou and Brancusi Atelier. You will find many and very diverse restaurants on the streets around the block, together with terraces and other services you may need (pharmacy, printing, etc) which for a tourist can be very useful. Overall it was a very good choice.
