I stayed at Monique's apartment for three nights at the end of July.
The location worked very well for us. It's close enough to Canal St Martin and within walking distance from some lovely bars and restaurants. It's close to the metro station if you want to get into the city centre quickly. The road itself has lots of shops, bakeries, pharmacies, which was very convenient.
We found the apartment to be very bright and comfortable. Monique left us lots of spices to cook with, useful maps and instructions on how to get around, and details on some current exhibitions.
Communication was very easy and Monique is very friendly and helpful. Overall we had a great stay, I would highly recommend staying here. Thanks Monique!! :)
