The location was excellent being a short walk from the train station and a five minute walk into the old town. You can see the tower of the stock exchange from the apartment. The apartment is spacious and light. We were able to park our bikes in the underground car park for the duration of our four night stay. There are supermarkets and patisseries within a five minute walk. Once the new paving and cycle lanes are complete in the street it will be very nice. Due to finish in early September but probably not until October. We were supplied with coffee. There is a washing machine (liquid provided) in the bathroom, an iron and ironing board and rack to dry clothes. Shampoo, body wash and little extras were supplied which was nice.

Two categories. Things they cannot change - the elevator was broken. It literally broke as we were in it and it wasn’t fixed when we left. I’m sure it will be soon but check before booking if you have any doubts as it’s 125 stairs up to 6th floor from the garage! After three trips out a day we had very sore legs and knees at the end of our stay. The smell of sewerage in the toilet. Luckily the toilet is separate from the bathroom so you can keep the door closed. This we believe is an ongoing issue and not just in the apartment but the entire city as it’s built on canals. Maybe because of all the rain, who knows but it’s abundant right now (August). Things that need changing - the buttons on the stove top and oven work but the temperatures have worn off so it’s difficult to use correctly. The bed quality is not good. We used the twin room because the double is low and small. The mattresses were not the best. All the furniture is very old. All useable but very dated. There are only two chairs on the balcony. The ironing board cover needs replacing - it was disintegrating and your clothes were marked with the metal lines when ironing. As there is no air conditioning, we opened the windows. We are surprised but we were bitten by mosquitoes - a lot. We actually squashed a few and there was blood. We then had to keep all windows closed at dusk so it was stuffy overnight. Didn’t think they would be as high as that. Unfortunately the French don’t use fly screens. Finally, Lille accommodation is expensive. We had over 33 accommodations booked in France including Beaune and this was the most expensive by far so we were expecting a bit better quality.

Hotesse au petit soin:)

Nous avons aimé la luminosité de l'appartement, sa belle vue sur Lille et la sensation d'espace que donnent séjour et cuisine. A ces qualités du logement s'ajoutent la gentillesse de l'accueil et la disponibilité du propriétaire.

Great location

There was some sewage smell coming from the toilet and in the building in general
