Lila was a wonderful host! She personally met me at the apartment and was even almost late for her plans in order to do so.
The space is exactly as pictured and is perfect for a solo traveler. The stairs ARE intense, but a little exercise is good for everyone. Plus, the view from the window is absolutely wonderful and worth the climb. The shower requires a bit of gymnastics and has a window with no curtain, but when in Paris, right? :) Everything I could possibly need was stocked in the apartment, including breakfast items. It's within walking distance from Gare du Nord and Gare du l'Est, which makes transportation very simple. The place was small but cozy, clean, and I would definitely stay there again!
