A common location for monitors surviving a reset (sure one has added a RESET
button to the user port or the serial IEC port) was of course 0xc000.
This helped a lot when hacking machine code on the C64. TIM relocated to 49152

Indeed it was. I did a lot of work in the cassette buffer when things
fit, but occasionally,
I had to put code at $C000 because of the size of the project.
