I can wholeheartedly recommend Maksym’s place to anybody wanting to stay in the heart of Paris, but slightly away from the mass of crowds. There were three of us staying there and whilst it was a very small space it was definitely manageable as we were only there to sleep. There are plenty of lovely boulangeries and restaurants within walking distance of the house, the the #69 bus stops less than two minutes from the front door & can take you to the Louvre & the Musée d’Orsay. The Notre Dame is within walking distance! We can not recommend this enough and I will certainly be back my next time in Paris.
