Bruno was great. The location was really nice and on a safe street with good markets close by, and the building is secure. This is urban Paris, so, there is street noise in the front bedrooms at night, but this wasn't bothersome if you are used to urban environments. The back bedroom is very quiet. Non-EU travelers should plan for a variety of types of adaptors for electric devices--some of those we brought didn't fit into the plugs. It's an older building, so, you have to be creative if you are charging up a lot of devices, etc. This was a nice way to experience an authentic Parisian environment--the apartment is cosy and homey. If you are looking for luxury, this isn't it, but, this was exactly the kind of Paris we wanted to experience. The two nearby Metro stops were very convenient--and there is a public farmer's market several days a week at the Place Monge (Metro Stop). Nearby to the apartment is a charming restaurant and pub area near a circle called Place de la Contrescarpe. Some of these are quite touristy, but some were great, and, there were always a lot of people there. Only a short distance further was a great restaurant called L'Ecurie--we really enjoyed this charming place; the food was delicious and the staff are great hosts. Bruno provided great restaurant suggestions, and the good advice to look for small menus--big menus are signs of tourist traps, and Paris has tons of these. It is so easy to walk to big tourist attractions from this location, but, there are also lots of fun things to do nearby. We had an amazing day at the Luxembourg Gardens. Another fun day-trip was to visit the Monet Gardens at Giverny. It's an adventure to get there, but, it exceeded all of our expectations. From this location on Rue Monge, you can have any kind of Paris you like--museums and monuments are all accessible, or the historically rich Left Bank and Latin Quarter. We would definitely stay here again.
