We have just departed a wonderful 6 night stay in Paris. Maxime's apartment is in a great location; we walked everywhere from it. It has all the comforts of home and though we didn't meet, he communicated well and we knew how to contact him to ask questions. Though I was pretty keen for a balcony view, as other reviewers have mentioned, this one is non-existent. Don't book it for the balcony. It was super quiet as was Rue de Montmerency. Countless bars, cafes and supermarkets are a short walk away. If you're there on a Sunday, take the 20 minute walk to Marche Bastille; it is fabulous! It was a wonderful introduction to Paris for us. Thanks Maxime!
