Maxime's home is a fantastic space! Very convenient to great restaurant's, grocery stores, and the Metro! Very safe. This is a major nightlife street, but we were well informed of this prior to our booking. The great thing is even though it is lively well into the morning hours, the bedroom is isolated from the street noise and we slept comfortably. The Bastille Metro is a major connecting point for the city with the ability to take you quickly to all the major sights! Christophe was our greeting host and was very informative and helpful, even responding on a Sunday morning as we struggle with understanding the washer machine. The place does have a lift and the neighbors are super friendly. If you are ok with a little noise on the weekends, this is a perfect home base for visiting Paris. We will be back again!
