Staying in Maxim's apartment was truly a unique experience. I felt as if I was experiencing an authentic Parisian stay just steps away from Notre Dame. I had everything I needed to make my stay a pleasant one. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was sufficient to accommodate any meal preparations (although with so many restaurants nearby I did not take advantage of that). There is a lovely view into the courtyard, and it was very quiet and peaceful at night. There is an excellent bakery within a few minutes walk, and it was wonderful to visit in the early morning and bring back some croissants to enjoy with my morning coffee. Maxim was very hospitable and accommodated me for an early check-in. He also was so kind in providing me with many tips for sight-seeing and restaurants in the area. I highly recommend Maxim's apartment for your stay in Paris!
