The apartment of Anouk and Jean-François (and I’m very sorry if I spelled your name wrong!) is truly a home. Staying there felt like borrowing a friend’s flat—it has all the things you want in your house, not just the bare amenities, which makes for a more comfortable and relaxing stay, and it has personality and cute vintage furniture they’ve collected over the years. Saint-Gilles is a beautiful neighborhood with nice cafes and restaurants, and it’s not a tourist hub, though the center is easily reached by the metro station in a couple minutes walk. 💯
