I had a wonderful experience at Maxim's! His apartment is cozy and lovely, situated in a residential neighborhood. We didn't get to have much face time, but the place feels very welcoming even in his absence - for example, the "welcome" chalkboard in different languages, guests' names were written on the doors, notes from him and the snack bag in the end. I also met one of his other guests, Miram and we had nice conversations - feels like his place is really connecting people together and connecting guests to Quebec :)
