We had a fantastic time staying in Lillian's apartment. The reason we had chose her place was because of the balcony and we spent a lot of time there. The apartment is very clean, pretty spacious, and as pictured. It is a city apartment so we didn't expect anything larger. We planned to enjoy every meal out so didn't need to use many dishes, although there were plenty. The washer was great and we used it quite a bit which kept our luggage to a minimum. The building felt very secure and hidden among the bustle of the city. There is noise coming from the street but the French chatter was not bothersome to us, for having the windows open is necessary. We had brought the earplugs from the airline but never used them. Checking in was very smooth and Lilian was always a step ahead in communicating. This was our first Airbnb stay and we look forward to our next trip :).
