Apartment TOU T CONFORT, in the HEART of Old Lille, Balconnet

Great location - comfortable space, large, bed was comfortable. The apartment building has a lot of offices so was very quiet at night/after hours. Easy to walk around the center of Lille from here (5-10 min walk). We really appreciated the availability to rent the parking space as well - it was convenient in a garage in the square right outside of the apartment. Check-in and check-out were easy. The apartment was well-equipped for cooking as well (although we didn't take advantage of it on this trip). Would stay here again!

Very nice apartment in old Lille with many sights, shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance. Host was very friendly and responded quickly to our questions.

Cool

We loved this apartment. It is spacious and well-equipped , and best of all it’s located in Vieux Lille, within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to see— the Vauban Citadel, the Grand Place, the music conservatoire, and shopping. We were grateful for the ability to rent Patrick’s parking place. We felt safe and secure for ourselves and for our belongings. Both Patrick and Lucie responded remarkably quickly to questions from us. We remember Lille from 35 years ago. The changes have made it a vibrant and animated “ vaut le voyage” destination for us. We highly recommend this apartment and a visit to Lille.

For a number of reasons, we did not stay at this property, but chose to go to a hotel instead. While the apartment seemed clean, there were cleaning products unstored giving the apartment an unclean, cluttered feel. There were some communication issues, but some of those were my fault. Having lived in Paris, we understand many buildings house offices as well as residences. However, this building seemed to be all offices except for this one apartment. It was outside the city center and difficult to get to. The biggest issue with the property was security of our belongings. The apartment is in a building that held businesses. From the lift you go into a locked corridor but there is no lock between the apartment and the business that is operated from the same corridor. At a mnimum a lock on the apartment door is needed to secure it from others who have access to the cooridor. We did not feel good about leaving our electronics, cash and passports in an unlocked apartment. As a result, we chose to move to a hotel. Upon contact with the owner, we received no apology or understanding of our concerns. Don't go here!

My family of three enjoyed staying in Patrick's apartment. The apartment is very clean and quiet. We had a lot of space and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a meal. The location is very ideal for walking around Vieux Lille.

Need decent pillows. Internet very weak. Well presented with well stocked kitchen and great towels/linens. Handy little porch. Very close to the action in old Lille but the apartment was very quiet. Decor very charming. Lots of great books!

Lovely apartment ideally positioned for old town Lille only one comment shower difficult to use but manageable

My sister and I stayed here and we would definitely recommend it! The apartment is quite spacious, and has a fully equipped kitchen for cooking meals. The hosts were prompt in responding to messages, and accommodating of our early check-in. The wifi was a bit spotty in some areas, but worked in the living room. Other than that, its a great place!

The apartment is a 15 minute (with bags) from Lille Europe station, so possibly quicker without bags. It is on the second floor with access to a lift (note - lift is tiny). The apartment is shared by the host's (Patrick) daughter (Lucie) who runs her business to one side of a corridor, with Patrick's apartment the other side. Though Patrick does not live there as the block of apartments are mostly businesses (hence very quiet at night). The apartment is spacious for a one bedroom, with a somewhat quirky design, which was no problem for us. Patrick deserves top ratings for presenting the apartment in pristine clean condition. The kitchen has ample cooking equipment and appliances, with a small dinning table. The location to the tourist old town is perfect, only a few minutes walk and you are there. Across the green (on the way to the tourist old town) there is a supermarket of a decent size and Pharmacy next door. We highly recommend staying at Patrick's apartment.
