Lilian’s apartment was designed for function & clean lines. It was located just 2 short blocks from the metro on a quiet narrow side street off of a busier boulevard. Morning croissants were just a 5 minute walk away. Two key-coded doors into the building provided us with a great sense of security. The circular stairwell up to her floor was dark due to a recent electrical problem which hopefully will be fixed soon. Lilian provided excellent information about the operation of all appliances as well as the operation of the windows & blinds. She provided 2 fans which kept us comfortable at night after closing the windows to shut out the street noise. It really was a lovely apartment and we enjoyed being in a working class neighborhood and still close to good restaurants. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
