François and Laurence are extremely kind hosts and very quick to respond to messages. Laurence welcomed us into their lovely home when we checked in. Their cat is cute and played in our room at times. The location is nice and quiet but also very close to public transportation and a very popular canal among locals on the weekends! The bed in the loft is very comfortable; the sofa bed not so much. The French style bathtub took a little getting used to to shower in since we are Americans, but we managed just fine. Everything was very clean. We had a wonderful stay.
