Maryse and her husband were very nice and welcoming but unfortunately we had some communication issues at the beginning because they actually only speak french ...so some knowledge of french is highly recommended! Otherwise the appartment was fine for a short time, but it has to be said that it seems pretty old (Windows dont close completely sometimes, I could only use 2 of 4 hot plates...), so some renovation would definitely highten the comfort of the maison. Still, the location in st. Charles is really perfect, its only a small walk to the grande plague and shops etc. Are very close :)
