Monica's place is in a lovely neighborhood away from tourists with local restaurants, bars, grocery store, and bakery all near by. It's an 8 minute walk to 2 metro stops and the Seine where you get an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. The Tower itself is about 1.3 miles away but you do see views of it all around the neighborhood. The apartment is quite spacious and the shower is clean, gorgeous and has jets that feel wonderful after a long day of walking around Paris. The soda bed in the living room is on the short side- not a problem for us at 5'3" and 5'6" but if you are very tall might not be for you.
