Sébastien and Christophe were super hosts. We stayed in the apartment for almost three months and every time we contacted them because we needed something or had a question, they responded very quickly. The same was true before we arrived when Sébastien answered every inquiry within hours. My husband and I are trying to learn French, and he was very patient with all our mistakes.

The apartment was spacious and well-equipped, and was just what the photos on the website showed. The washing machine is a real bonus for someone who is staying for a longer visit. Having trekked to the laundromat on many previous occasions, we were thrilled to find the apartment equipped with the washer and a drying rack for hanging the clothes. We didn’t use the dishwasher much for the two of us, but it was nice to have when we had company and it worked well.

I was a little worried about being in a first floor apartment before we arrived, but the security is great. The windows are like one-way mirrors so that we could see out and get light into the apartment, but no one knew we were there. It was actually an amusing to watch people combing their hair or applying their makeup in front of our "mirror".

The apartment is right on a major bus line that goes straight to the center city. The same bus took us directly to French in Normandy, the school where we were enrolled as foreign language learners to try to learn French. For younger, more agile visitors, both the downtown and the school are about a 20 minute walk from the apartment (in opposite directions). The apartment is also close to one of the major metro lines that also goes to the downtown.

This is the fourth time that we have rented an apartment in France for a 3 to 5 month stay. This was by far our best experience. We highly recommend the apartment with no reservations.
