The apartment was very clean, spacious, well equipped and well located to get into the centre of Lille. Less than 15 minute walk from the main train stations serving the area, with a Metro stop directly outside, plenty of places nearby to eat and drink at. Christine, who met us and showed us around the property, was friendly and amenable, and, although there was a bit of a language barrier, we got by with our broken French and sign language!
It would be handy to note in the listing that whilst there is a bathroom and an ensuite, there is only 1 toilet (separate). Also, if anyone is claustrophobic, please be aware the lift up to the fourth floor apartment is very small (a cosy 2 people max). There is also a staircase as an alternative (pretty heavy going with luggage though!)
It was very hot at night during our stay and so we had to keep the windows open, which meant that the noise from the road below could be heard quite clearly, even though we were four floors up! Lille was quite busy with more people than usual around for the Olympics, so there was probably more noise than usual. A fan in each room would have meant we could shut the windows and also might have helped keep some mosquitoes away... Water temperature in both the shower & ensuite seemed to fluctuate a bit - luckily, due to the hot weather, we didn't mind the odd cold blast though!
Overall a great apartment that worked really well for us during our stay - would definitely stay here again : )
