Maxime’s apartment was exactly like the photos, although it was a bit smaller than I anticipated! It is a tiny studio apartment, but the location is unsurpassed! The Metro station is mere steps away and from there you can get anywhere in Paris. It is walking distance to the Lourve, Tuileries Garden and Christmas Market! We wish there had been city information such as metro map and city map, or perhaps a handbook with directions and recommendations of restaurants, grocery, bakery and wine shops in the apartment.
Maxime was so flexible with our arrival. We anticipated arriving around 2:00 in the afternoon and he agreed to an early check-in. Instead our train was cancelled and we didn’t get into Paris until after 6:00 PM. We stayed in touch with each other and he waited for us for hours until we finally got to the apartment. Thank you so much, Maxime!
