Monique's place was truly wonderful! This was my second stay in Paris, and my husband's first time in the City of Lights. We only needed a simple, clean space to spend the night since we were planning to be out all day to tour Paris. Staying with Monique definitely added that special "je ne sais quoi."
Before booking Monique's place she let us know that she did not speak any English, only French but she would love to host us if that would not be a problem. We told her that would be okay and we only needed a place to stay. We were able to communicate via google translate, and once we met it was we used our broken French to greet each other. It is true when they say a smile is universal because Monique was very welcoming and warm towards us.
The room is large, clean and super comfortable. The bathroom is also very nice and she has two toilets. She provides towels, hair dryer and toiletries if needed. The place itself is centrally located and you can walk to Luxembourg Gardens, La Siene, Notre Dame, The Louvre, etc.
Each morning, Monique made us a lovely breakfast of tea, coffee, juice, toast, butter and fruit preserve. She would write on a paper to ask us what time we would be up for breakfast and we were able to communicate through paper and typing on our phones.
Monique is a very friendly and lovely host. She made our stay in Paris extra special! Thank you Monique!
