Mao’s place is in fantastic location! It’s close to really good bakeries, patisseries, asian restaurants (our favorite was Restaurant X Lagrange) and multiple french restaurants (we would recommend La Jacobine). The apartment was also very close to a number of tourist attractions. The Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Shakespeare and Company are all within walking distance! :)
However, the apartment is very small for 2 people. It is ok I think for just a couple of days (we stayed there for about a week). My boyfriend of height 185cm kept bumping his head when he entered the kitchen. So, it’s definitely better for a petite person with height below 170cm. There was also no heater in the kitchen and the bathroom. As the window is very old, it could get quite cold. But the bedroom is fine as the heater worked well there. All in all though, Mao’s place is of very good value because of the location and the amenities. You simply cannot beat the price!
