We have stayed at Maxime’s for a girlie weekend.
The good parts:
•	Communication was easy and very responsive
•	The apartment is located in a very good area and fair access to everything
•	The apartment is rather spacious and has lots of storage capacity
•	There are a lot of great places to eat out and bars in the area
•	The kitchen was equipped with everything needed
•	The host was prompt to welcome us after we texted that we are approaching the property
The not so good parts:
•	The first feeling we had was that apartment has not been cleaned in a very long time, mind you, the charge entails a charge fee for cleaning
•	One lavatory room did not have light
•	Curtains were creased and some hooks missing
•	The skirtings had a lot of dust and so did all the areas of the flat
•	The garbage cabinet was rather filthy and has not been cleaned for a long time, so was the dishwashing storage unit
•	Some paint chipping from the walls in bathroom
•	And exposed electricity hole in the wall – which is a health and safety hazard
•	A lot of exposed cabling
•	Dirty door handles and windows
•	Greasy hand marks on kitchen cabinets
•	Only 1 key offered for 4 (!) guests
Value versus Money:
•	OK, but really needs to be cleaned, we had the feeling that we are sleeping in someone else’s bedding that has not been changed.
While I understand the concept that this is not a hotel, I would make the following suggestions:
•	Have a set of all white towels, instead of offering dated and bleach stained ones of all colours
•	Invest in 2 sets of bed lingerie that can be used just for guests – while they were clean at first sight, they had some stains – not a pleasant feeling
•	Provide some elementary toiletries in the bathroom
•	Have some tablets at the ready for the dishwasher
•	Try and have the flat professionally deep/steam cleaned
•	Periodically clean the curtains and iron them
I would definitely recommend this property with the good parts I mentioned in mind and reliability in communication of the host and providing it gets deep cleaned and the suggestions I made are taken into consideration.
Thank you.
