We had a great 8-days at Paris by staying at Maxim’s apartment. After numerous rejections by other airbnbs due to having no reviews, Maxim accepted our reservation request without querying our reviews. We had a bit doubt for being easily accepted and for its low cost, but we understood that we were wrong when Brigitte welcomed us nicely although we were very early than checkin time there. I can forget writing all the good things about this but i’ll try to make a list:
1)	Location: Apartment is 5-6 minutes away from the Republique metro station which connects you to several locations such as Arc de triumph, tour Eiffel, louvre museum, nation, bastille, opera in fifteen minutes. Reaching CDG, Orly, Disneyland and Versailles takes at most one hour by train. Bus 75 stop is a few steps away and it connects you to Pantheon over Notre Dame. We didn’t have time but walking to haussman over Grand Boulevard would be a great activity. Republique square is full of fun with dance shows at every time of the day.
There are several boulangeries nearby which you can find delicious croissants and breads. Also markets like u-store (30 mt) , franprix(100 mt.) and monoprix(500 mt) are open until 9 pm or 10 pm. Mcdonalds at the corner has a nice desert buffet until late night.
2)	View: The apartment’s location is at the one of the touristic locations of Paris. Viewing tourist boats and their water pool ascending/descending ceremony is funny indeed. Balcony is the best part of the apartment. The canal, streets and cafes are full of youth and energy.
3)	Clean and big: The apartment was very clean and modern, everything was new and smelling fresh. We thought that we were the first users of the towels and sheets. Apartment is separated into two rooms, rooms are quite large, beds are very comfortable. Even two couples can use the house effectively. Kitchen has all the needed stuff including several spices, corn flakes, coffe machine and capsules.
Bath is large enough and easy to use. Water temperature can be set easily. All the cosmetic materials are at hand. If you forget to bring perfume, tooth brush or blaster, don’t worry. Maxim and Brigitte equipped the house perferctly. You’ll find several surprises.
4)	Other: Internet is fast,, we didn’t have time to watch tv. Maxim’s film choices exactly match with mine, there are lots of DVD’s. House decoration with movie posters is attracted us.

5)	Communication: Communicating with Maxim and Brigitte was so easy. They reply in a short time. They helped us both at early checkin and at early check out.
Consequently, we left Paris in a pleasant way. We strongly suggest Maxim’s apartment to families and couples. (PS. We couldn’t fix the plug at the bath, we had no screwdrivers, and we forgot to inform Brigitte about it when we are leaving, we apologize for leaving the plug like that)
