Laurent was unable to greet us personally as he was on holiday, but he organised for three women to welcome us on arrival. (One an English speaker) Everyone was so kind to us and friendly. There was plenty of advance notice of this and excellent communication, with instructions about getting from station to the accommodation. The apartment is small but natty. We enjoyed the design elements that converted a small space to an attractive, functional studio. The balcony is a big plus. Laurent's mother's jam is divine. The location is so central and perfect. We felt cared for, as though we were family.
