My family of 5 (kids 15, 14 and 11) and inlaws had a great stay in this apartment. Sleeping arrangements were perfect for our group and we loved having the big common space where we could comfortably hang out as a group in the mornings and evenings. The design and furnishing are sparsely modern, which we found very comfortable. The apartment sits at the and of a long alley way inside a large building, so it is very quiet. There is a nice charm to coming in an out of this place from Paris’ bustling streets.
We really liked the location. Monilmontant is a neighborhood full of all kinds of Parisians, about 1-2 km from places in the Marais that all tourists want to visit. For us that was walkable on many days, but we also took the metro a lot. Pretty much anywhere you want to visit in Paris is within 40 minutes on the metro. The Monilmontant stop is half a block away and there are other stops nearby for different lines.
Eva and her husband were great hosts. Check in was seemless. We arrived very early in the morning but were able to leave bags while the place was being cleaned. Eva recommended a number of local eateries and other establishments and destinations that help us get a start on knowing the neighborhood.
