We had a wonderful time in Paris. Monic's studio is in a terrific location - you are within two blocks of vibrant, active market streets, and just a few more blocks to the seine, the marais, the louvre and much more. There are two metro stations within two blocks, and two velib (public bike) stations within two blocks also.

The studio is extremely small - tiny. We called it (affectionately) our cocoon! There are three flights of stairs up to the studio, and a steep ships ladder to the bed which could be difficult depending on your physical condition (we had no problems). The studio was acceptably clean but not spic and span, and there were some loose ends as far as clutter, light that didn't function all of the time, windows that are difficult to lock.

Having a small kitchen and refrigerator was very nice, and allowed us to make breakfast/snacks, keep cold drinks, and feel at home. For such a small space, Monic has done a great job providing storage spaces like a trunk and cubbies under the stairs.

Monic was an extremely accomodating host - she responded to our first email within hours of sending, called us personally within hours of accepting our reservation, and was very responsive and helpful via email in the weeks leading up to our trip. Monic's studio was one of the more expensive we looked at, but her responsiveness and warm manner were reassuring. There was a difference between the charges on Airbnb and the rate she quoted by email. Hopefully she has corrected her listing now to reflect the correct information, but make sure and confirm so you are both on the same page before reserving.

Monic met us at the Studio late in the evening when we arrived. She spent a generous amount of time with us studying maps and guides, and helping us plan where we might want to go. We could not have asked for a better host.

Feel free to send a note with more questions about paris or Monic.
