Maxime’s place was great, with a very modern design and very clean. It’s situated in the 8th Arrondissement, on a beautiful, quiet residential part of the street, very close to shopping (Galeries Lafayette, Printemps and other major brands), large cafes and boulangeries (check out Thierry Marx around the corner)
We arrived after a red eye from New York, and were met at the apartment by Cheng, the property manager, who was very helpful in getting us settled. We had a slight hiccup connecting with her upon arrival but just walked to a cafe nearby to get on WiFi and was able to chat with her on What’s App. In general, it was easy to connect with both Cheng and Maxime on What’s App, they were both very responsive.
The apartment itself is big and open, great for traveling with another couple or a group of friends. Particularly, the main kitchen, dining and living area was perfect for resting & hanging out with some wine after walking around all day in the Marais (20 minutes cab ride away). The apartment was also walking distance to many attractions (20 minutes to the Tuileries Gardens, Louvre, Seine). There is a large Monoprix grocery store across the street, and the metro stop is a 2 minute walk away.
The apartment has 2 bedrooms (one master and one smaller room), both with comfortable, full sized beds. Both bedrooms have full, en-suite bathrooms.
In general, the apartment was great. It was comfortable, large, clean and centrally located. Maxime and Cheng were responsive over What’s App. We had a small issue with the shower in the master bedroom and Maxime came by to fix it the next day. My minor feedback would be, stock the apartment with household items like soap and paper towel. We bought some at the Monoprix nearby, but having it available upon arrival would be a very nice touch.
Would stay here again.
