Monique's place is wonderful. It is as described and more. If you want to get a taste of local Parisian lifestyle , Monique's place is for you. Her apartment is comfortable, quiet, and stylishly designed. There are awesome bakeries, cafes, pharmacies, and groceries located less than five minutes walk from her building. There are three metro stations which are within 5 to 15 minutes walk from her apartment. There are also meat and fish markets around the block, as well as restaurants. The elevator in her building is a tight fit but you get used to it after a couple of times. The water pressure in the shower is fantastic, but the shower curtains need to be overlapped with each other so the bathroom floor will not be flooded. We had a fantastic time at Monique's place and would go back there again if given the chance!
