Maxime's place is as described and exactly like in the pictures. Its easily accessible via metro & the area is very lively. There are few cafe's and Patisseries nearby which were all very good. It was also easy to commute to all Paris attractions from here. More than anything , Maxime's house had a character. We faced a big dilemma whether to explore Paris or Explore all the wonderful books and DVD's he had. The projector and the massive Screen were also a big plus to unwind in the evening.
