Monia's apartment was spacious, clean, quiet and very well located. After a day of walking in beautiful Paris, walking up four flights of uneven stairs always seemed more challenging than it should have been! With the old timber beam across the centre of the room, with a minimum clearance of about 1500mm, care needs to be taken. I was literally The Hunchback of Notre Dam for much of my stay! Paris seems very expensive (way dearer for food supplies than in London, for some strange reason) but there is still good value to be found at nearby cafes and restaurants. There are a lot of small grocers nearby, such as Carrefour Metro, which are acceptable for daily supplies. Within a few minutes of leaving the building you can be down on the path by the Seine for lovely walks in either direction. It's also easy walking to other attractions such as Notre Dame, The Louvre, Bastille, The Latin Quarter etc. Monia's communication was great!
