Maxim is a wonderful host. He met us upon arrival and gave us a quick tour of the apartment. Maxim took time to chat with us, and answer questions we had about local eateries, transport, etc. He was very kind and helpful, and we enjoyed meeting him very much.
The apartment is super cute, and the bed is very comfortable. The toilet and shower are in different rooms, and both very clean. The kitchen was also well-stocked with things needed to cook and make coffee. Maxim was so kind to leave us a bottle of wine (thank you!). The kitchen was also very clean as well.
The location was by far my favorite aspect of the stay. It is on a beautiful island right on the Siene river and it’s a 5-minute walk from Notre Dame. There are many delicious cafes within 2-3 minute walk, as well as a bakery, butcher, and incredible cheese shop just outside the front door. We were able to grab croissants, baguette, ham, and cheese within minutes to make yummy sandwiches upstairs before heading out for the day. The island is not too crowded, however, it is lively. The best part is that it is very quiet at night so that you are able to sleep well.
We had an incredible experience in Paris, and calling this apartment our “home” for the week made it even better. I would highly recommend this apartment, and if we return to Paris, we hope to stay here again.
Thanks, Maxim!!
