The apartment is fab and so is Joanna. If you book this place make sure to listen to her recommendations. We loved the wine bar just up the road called Rubis. The square with plenty of bars is only a short walk away also. We were very lucky to be staying on a Monday where Joanna recommended the local market at the town hall, which turned out to be fantastic! Great company and fresh food. St Gilles is a lovely area and would urge anyone to stay here! We got Uber if we wanted to head into the centre, which was never no more that €8.
