Wonderful host! I was so glad that he could meet us to walk us to apartment. Thierry was so kind and patient. Short of being on the canal this place was perfect. Right in a small square where historical opera house is. Apartment is lovely and well equipped although we struggled with the washing machine. It just confounded is but Thierry came to our rescue and we figured it out. Just have the expectation that the cycles are very long and no dryer (the norm here) and make sure he explains it. It looks simple and actually isn't that hard if you pay attention to what he says. Beautiful linens and comfortable beds. And next person in may have the treat of the lemonchello we left in freezer so enjoy!
