Maxim’s place is in an excellent location, and he added several helpful tips about the places in the neighbourhood. We walked around everyday with our 10 month old baby in the stroller and enjoyed Paris. For the first couple of nights we stayed out late because of jet lag, and enjoyed drinks and dinner literally nearby. And when the baby would wake up we would simply pay and walk the block or so back to Maxime’s place. We could not have asked for a more accessible location.
It was very thoughtful for Maxime to have a manual in English to use various appliances and gadgets in his place. We need the kitchen to cook baby food. Overall it was great.
A few things could have gone a bit better. Checkin and checkout instructions were not very well communicated. Luckily, the old lady next door helped us with getting his keys from the cafe next door. Checkin confusion was understandable, however we were disappointed to see the next guest arrive earlier than our agreed checkout time.
The bedroom had an odor of smoke due to which we could not use it and ended up sleeping on the convertible sofa-bed. I wish it was mentioned in the details that it is a smoking place.
In general, I wish we were able to get responses quicker and there were more details in the listing. Other than that, I think it is a great place to enjoy your vacation in Paris.
