Maxime had a friend welcome us - as he was away during our stay - and she was brilliant for communication and was very flexible with our check-out time which made a huge difference to our last day as we didn't have to check out so early and carry our bags around the city while exploring. We used it as a base during our busy explorations and were not disappointed as the location was ideal. There's a gorgeous cafe just one street away called Les Cent Kilos that was very idyllic. It's also close to pastry shops, the metro, a pretty church, the graveyard that Oscar Wilde was buried in, a pizzeria, supermarkets, a creperie that serves authentic galettes and crepes! There are loads of sheets and towels provided, so even despite the fact the apartment is a bit of a small space, we felt the Host provided everything and the Listing was a bargain for it's location. The space itself is a bit cramped, but the photos show how it looks so we knew that is what we were getting. For two people it would be fine but for four it's a bit of a squeeze. It's not brand new or newly refurbished, and you can tell that - but it is still a lovely spot with the unique feature of a role-down projection screen which we used while relaxing for a few hours one day. The area is safe too, we didn't feel uncomfortable walking the streets at night and had no issues with access to the building which was both secure and easy to manage. We got plenty of great recommendations too. The internet and heating worked great also. All in all, it was everything we hoped for and we highly recommend Maxime (and his friend Camille who we dealt with mostly) as a Host.
