I read several reviews of Lilian’s apartment and there were no surprises with the apartment during our week in the apartment. It’s in a good location with 2 metro stops nearby which we used to get us everywhere we wanted to go to in Paris. There are markets nearby and bakeries and plenty of places to eat. We really appreciated having a balcony but more comfortable chairs would be appreciated.
It can get noisy during the evening, especially on Friday and Saturday since there is a bar underneath the apartment but the glass doors and windows are double pane and noise is somewhat muted. With earplugs, the noise was not too bad. The bed is a bit hard which was hard on my left leg but my husband had no problems sleeping. I appreciated having enough space on either side of the bed and in front so getting out of the bed was easy. The toilet is down the hall but we left the light on during the night so easy to find. The toilet space is small, a big or tall person might find it difficult to use. The bathroom is good size but shower space is small.
There are 2 flights of stairs to get into apartment but despite having an old injury on left knee, the flight of stairs was no problem getting up and down. There is no elevator so only hassle was getting suitcases up to and down from the apartment.
The apartment is spacious enough for 2 people and I think the sofa can turn into a bed. There is a small closet in the bedroom with 3 drawers and large drawer in the living room. Enough space to hold cloths. We were able to store our suitcases behind the side of the sofa.
Lilian responded quickly to messages and left good instructions about the apartment.
We enjoyed our week staying in the area and in the apartment.
