Maxim's place was wonderful! It is located on the Ile Saint Louis, which was the perfect base for exploring the city. The island itself is charming and small with a few bakeries, a grocery store and plenty of cafes to choose from. It was very easy to take the RER into the city from CDG airport, and there is a metro station very close by. The flat itself was spacious and comfortable, with a nice bathtub to soak our feet after long days of walking around the city. The windows face into a courtyard, so it was easy to sleep with the windows open, and I'm a light sleeper. The bed was a real mattress, and very comfortable! It may not be the best place for people who are older or with disabilities, as it is on the 3rd level (4th floor for Americans) and there is no elevator. We absolutely loved the place and would stay here again if we return to Paris!!
