Overall, Maxime's apartment was great for our stay in Paris. The location is unbeatable. We were within walking distance of many wonderful sights. It is in a lively neighborhood with wonderful bars, restaurants, and shops. We spent many lovely hours just wandering the streets around the apartment. The apartment itself felt safe and quiet. It is small but was very suitable for two adults on vacation. Maxime was not able to let us in himself, but we had no trouble coordinating with his friend, who he sent to let us in. The kitchen was well-equipped. The bed was extremely comfortable. Our only criticism was that the apartment could have been cleaner; for example, previous guests had left perishable foods in the fridge (including rotting bananas), which had not been cleaned out. Similarly, the surfaces and cups, plates etc were not that clean. Despite being less clean than we would have liked, we felt like the location still made Maxime's place a great option, and we could consider staying there again in the future.
