As a host Maxim has been responsive and was able to answer all queries put to him. It was nice of him to welcome us with a bottle of wine. On the whole I would say Maxim went out of his way to accommodate us.
Location: Excellent location, within the heart of excellent cafes and social life. Everything one needs in terms of public transport, food, shops, pharmacy, barber, art, galleries and tourist attactions is between 2 to 15 minutes walk away.
Apartment: Photographs are a true reflection of the state of the apartment, which is well-equipped, excellent condition, clean and tidy. The kitchen has eveything one would need. Very good strong wi-fi.
The only negative (and my fault for not thinking/asking of it) is the five flights of stairs to the apartment. Troublesome for elderly couples or couples with small babies. No problem for me and my boys but my wife complained at the begining!
Security: Front electronic keypad through to court-yard, followed by another door via electronic keypad. Good locks on apartment and safe neighbourhood.
I would recommend the apartment to a young couple or a small family of four (2 adults & 2 kids under 12 yrs).
The host and the apartment made my family's vacation in Paris perfect experience.
