Helene made us feel very welcome. She made sure that we were met by an English speaking friend and he spent time going through the details of the home. Helene left information about the city, tour options, maps with locations of grocery stores and restaurants. She also made sure we knew which channels the football games would be on. One of our concerns is that the flat was advertised to have two bathrooms. We interpreted that to mean two toilets. But, there was only one toilet. Other than that, the flat was very spacious and comfortable. There was quite a bit more activity and "street commerce" than we had anticipated for the neighborhood which made us a bit uncomfortable being out on the street in the evenings. Saturday night of our stay seemed to be the most active. All in all, our stay was pleasant and the proximity to the historic part of the city was a big plus.
