After 1.5 weeks of traveling in Europe, it was nice to be finally staying at an apartment that was on the first floor so we didn't have to carry our luggage up narrow stairs. Gilian's apartment was small, cozy, and very clean. It's small so we had to play 'tetris' and move tables and chairs around in order to fit our 4 luggage in the apartment comfortably, since we were staying for 5 nights with 4 adults. The restroom wasn't big but the shower itself was plenty enough to fit 2 people, and had an entire counter space to put our toiletries. The bathroom ventilation turns on automatically after a few minutes of us showering, which was very handy! Just a heads up- since the room is small, you could hear everything that goes on in the bathroom.
A small thing we want to mention is the main wall of the apartment flakes off when we accidentally bump into it. Not a big problem if you stay away from it. Another was the cooking stove didn't turn on when we tried to cook something, but not sure if we were doing it right. There were 2 photos decorating the apartment that were kind of creepy...especially the black and white portrait of the man right above the bathroom. The other was the small photo of a woman standing, which was right by the stairs. We also thought the design of the ladder going up to the loft bed wasn't the best. We had to step over a big circular loop on the top of the ladder in order to get up or down- it was probably part of the aesthetics, but it wasn't functional. There was a washing machine/dryer that we shared with our next door neighbor (probably another of their airbnbs) and the cleaning lady, so we have to make sure we do our laundry when they are not. It was hard to figure out the washing/drying function, so be sure to ask Gilian about it if you plan on washing clothes. Lastly, the door to the apartment takes a bit of getting used to since it was hard to get it locked, but once you get the hang of it, it's not a big problem.
Other than these small points, the apartment was definitely very clean and very conveniently located in District 2 near major tourist spots, restaurants, bars, markets, and shops. Gilian also sent out a comprehensive email to us a few days before our arrival so we knew how to use most of the amenities in the apartment. Would definitely recommend this b&b to first timers to Paris!
