I enjoyed Maya's place - the clean space made it easy to feel relaxed. The big windows made for a nice, comfortable breeze. It was never too noisy and the neighborhood is relative active, yet safe. Easy access to whatever you need: royal garden, louve, shopping, cafés, metro, rental bikes, and more. The steps are for real, but not a deal-breaker. I would recommend the place, the city, and the entire experience.
