Maxime was an excellent host. He responded quickly to communication and arranged for an easy check-in, even though our arrival created a conflict with his schedule. The apartment was exactly as depicted in the listing. And a beautiful set of windows open to a quiet street, which allowed us to easily cool down the apartment in the evenings (we stayed in July) and close up the apartment for a quiet night's sleep. Overall, an incredibly comfortable and smartly decorated space to relax in between ventures around Paris. The neighborhood sits at the transition between the residential / commercial bustle of the 6th Arrondissement and the government and related business activity in the 7th. Street-level retail is less dense than in neighboring areas to the east. A few of the nearby highlights include Rollet Pradier pastry shop and Le Petit Palais café (where Marie is generous with recommendations and Xavier makes possibly the best omelette we've ever had.) Would definitely stay here again and recommend same.
