The apartment is very chic and is a lovely place to stay. It is directly on the river Seine and is quiet, charming, clean and has good amenities. Although the metro was not very near, the buses are plentiful and close. The M82 (Orange) will take you directly to the Eiffel Tower in about 45 minutes for €1.80 euro (a bargain!!) and they run every 9 minutes! A taxi to the heart of Paris is around €25 euro (use an app like Kapten or Bolt to get a confirmed price and prepayment though so as to be very sure on price). Monica and Albert are lovely people. Very friendly, accommodating and just leave you to get on with it (which we liked). We would love to go back in the late spring, early summer to enjoy better weather but even when it is raining Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I would highly recommend Monica and Albert's apartment for your stay and Paris for a magnificent time.
