The apartment is beautiful and well appointed and located. However the host is ALWAYS home, so privacy is limited, which I think is important to know ahead of time. Also, there is no air conditioning (normal in Paris/most of Europe) so having the door and windows open in summer is imperative and also limits the privacy of the room. Also if the windows in the rest of the apartment are shut, there is little cross breeze so it can get very hot. Monique is a lovely hostess, but these are important things to know before booking.
