We absolutely loved our stay in Maia's little apartment in the heart of Saint Germain des Pres, just a stones throw away from some of Paris' famous tourist attractions but also close to lots of hip cafes, bars and clothing shops. It felt like a very safe area to explore at night too.
Maia was a wonderful host, always quick to respond to emails and helped us in every way. Admittedly, we were shocked when we first entered because it was TINY at first glance but you soon get used to it and you get what you pay for. The apartment is exactly like the photos and despite its small size, it is extremely clean and ideal for singles and couples who are likely to spend the daytime out and about. The bed was oh so comfortable and seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night from the window was the perfect start to our honeymoon! The espresso machine also got a daily workout.
We had backpacks so the 75 steps to the apartment were no problem for us, however if you have a heavy bag on wheels or have crook knees, it might be more of a challenge. A perfect excuse to eat more delicious macarons from Laduree which is just down the road!
We really enjoyed our stay in 'The Cupboard' as we affectionately came to know it. Thanks Maia for having us! See you next trip!
