The apartment is very nice, clean and situated within easy walking distance of the Eurostar Station (our method of travel). It has a nice balcony that has the sun on it during breakfast and lunch. There is a metro station on the corner that leads right into the centre of town, furthermore a hop on hop off bike station adjacent, allowing east travel around the city. Roch is very welcoming and was a great host, providing all the information and maps we needed to explore the city when we first arrived. We wish our stay could have been longer and would consider again for future trips. The train tracks aren't too far away and you can hear the trains however the noise is not over and above what you would expect from city life. Overall very good apartment and would recommend.
