Pre arrival communication with Nicolas was excellent. After a trying delay with the Metro due to work on the lines, we arrived and were greeted by Sandrine. She let us into the courtyard and over to the VRBO. After showing us how everything worked, she left us to unpack and settle in for the evening. To our great surprise and delight, there was bottled water and juice in the fridge and an expresso maker complete with pods. A well stocked kitchen and these types of extras are one of the many reasons for this Five stars review. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms were well stocked with soaps, lotions, shampoo and towels. This is a tri level with stairs, so be if you have trouble with a few steps, this may not be the place for you. The pictures are very accurate, but do not indicate just how quiet this place is. Separated from the street by a lovely courtyard and door, it was really nice to sit outside on the benches and enjoy the evenings. There are coffee shops, pastry shops and delightful places to eat all around the area. it is located just across from the Louvre and down the street from the Muse d Orsay. We did spend one day walking to the Eiffel Tower and back While enjoyable, it was a bit of a walk and when we returned to that area we used the Metro. Another interesting feature of this apartment was that it was very well decorated with several really cool lamps that were commented on by our group. In short, we were very happy with Quartier de la Monnaie.
