Maxime is a great host who responds to queries quickly and with good detail. We had a brief visit with him and enjoyed a lively and thoughtful conversation. His place is as described. Tons of movies organized by director and country of origin. We were sad that we only had enough time to view one film on his big screen. There is a bit of street noise especially when the Windows are open. but that's the small price you pay for being close to amenities such as restaurants, bakeries, bars and metro and bus lines. The highlight of our stay was the local market selling fresh produce, meat, cheese and seafood. What a great great to be able to cook all the lovely fresh products.
