Our stay at Willy’s was lovely! I believe it was his mother who let us in and tried her hardest to communicate with us and give us recommendations despite the language barrier (she spoke French and we do not). As other reviews have said, yes the toilet and shower are out in the open. You also have to walk through the family’s living space to reach the second floor which was not an issue at all but something to note. Overall, the apartment was very clean, and we had everything we needed including a short 7 minute walk to the metro. Thank you Willy!
