Gerard and Monique's place was absolutely wonderful and centrally located on a great market street in the 2nd arrondisement in easy reach of the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Left Bank, the Marais, Canal St. Martin, etc. Gerard's mom, Monique, met us at the apartment and was wonderful and gracious. The notes and communication were spot on and Gerard was easily accessible with answers to questions. Getting to the beds on the top floor was a little tough with luggage, but the rooms are stylish and very welcoming and having am elevator helps tremendously. We would definitely stay there again on our next visit to Paris!
