Hausmannian apt downtown 140 M2

Wonderful apartment in the French style with all modern facilities at hand. It's on the 4th floor but has a very convenient and, typically for France, tiny, lift if you can't manage 102 stairs! It had everything we needed, plenty of space, very comfortable and very clean. Literally a stone's throw from the Metro and a convenient small supermarket. Lovely boulangeries, cafes and restaurants nearby too. Just a short walk into the old town makes it a great, central location. We were greeted by a relative of the owner, after a call to let her know we had arrived by Eurostar. She only spoke French, but luckily my husband was able to discuss arrangements as his French is fairly good. I've dropped a star on location and neighbourhood. This is purely due to the fact that the apartment is located at the end of the main street from the town, which many students use late at night on their way home after a night out (there are loads of students in Lille). They do a lot of shouting and singing and are very loud .. which is not good at 2am. So if you are a light sleeper I would recommend earplugs! We live 2 miles from Heathrow airport so we are used to noise, but not at that time of night. Other than that we had a great time in Lille. Thanks Serge for allowing to stay in your lovely apartment.
