We really loved staying at Lillian's apartment in the Latin Quarter of Paris. Central to everything, it was a 5 mins walk to Place Monge metro, 15 to Luxembourg, 15 to major sites like Notre Dame and more. The balcony really was a treat, we shopped along Rue Muffetard and stocked up on wine, cheese, pastries and more. It was nice coming home from our adventures to enjoy a glass of rose on the balcony. Bed was a little smaller than a traditional American queen, but comfortable. Bathroom is split - one room has the shower/sink/washing machine, with a much smaller WC with just the toilet. My husband is pretty tall and couldn't really fit in the WC room, but we made it work. The apartment is on the third floor (referred to as second in Europe) and has a winding wooden stairs, no elevator. Getting in and out of the apartment was easy and we always felt secure in the area. Having a full sized hair dryer available (no adapter needed) was a lifesaver! Some previous reviews mentioned the noise, but even though we were two stories above a pub, we didn't need earplugs at all (but had them just in case). Overall, great stay and would definitely stay there again.
