This was my first Airbnb experience and I was pleased to have it work out so well! Lucien was friendly in our communication leading up to our check in and when we arrived. The apartment was very neat and clean when we arrived, and I really liked the layout and decorations. Our bed was super comfortable as well. The bathroom was clean and accommodating! I appreciated the extra soaps and shampoos because I had forgotten to pack my own on accident!
As other reviewers have mentioned ,there IS a septic smell in the area, but it didn't necessarily bother my guests and myself. There is also some incense that was provided to help with that.
Another thing I feel compelled to mention is that it was a little weird to not be informed of the camera in the living room before our stay. Again, it honestly doesn't bother ME, personally. Although I did feel like I could be being watched, I wasn't doing anything that I wouldn't want anyone to see, haha. But it is off putting when you figure it out.
The extra amenities in the apartment were really helpful as well. We loved the water bottle with cups for some fresh water. We also used the keurig for coffee and the toaster oven to heat up some leftover pizza. I liked the takeout menus that were available in the drawer as well. I also found a box fan in our closet and I wasn't sure if it was intentional, but I am the type of person who needs white noise to sleep, so I supremely appreciated finding that treasure!!!
It was very nice that the apartment was about a 2 block walk to the green line, it made our travels into the city very easy!
Overall, our stay at Lucien's place was comfortable and relaxing and I would stay there again.
