We had a fantastic time in Paris staying at Max's apartment. We had searched high and low for a place that would give us the perfect storm of location, view and basic utilities. Max's apartment had the lot.
There was nothing we liked more than drinking great wine on the terrace overlooking, arguably the best city skyline in the world. For what we wanted, this apartment was excellent.
Canal St Martin is a really vibrant area and the metro links from République made the city extremely accessible. When we return to Paris, and this place is available, it'll be our first port of call.
As a host Max was very useful. The help before hand, and a personally made brochure was a great resource. Max is very responsive, and was kind enough to help us with any issues we had.
