Xuong was there to meet us and gave us a thorough explanation of the apartment and along with a map supplied us with an audio guide to the city, which was very informative and useful. Jean-Philippe was a mine of information and told us several really interesting historical anecdotes about the city and some of its eccentric residents. Several of them bequeathed large tracts of land to the city on a number of interesting conditions. Ask Jean-Philippe for the intriguing details.
The room was beautiful with an ensuite and an excellent desk and chair, important for me as I work while I am away. Internet connection was excellent.
