It's rather difficult to put into this tiny space how positive our experience with Helene was, but I will try! Tangible: the room was clean, large enough for me and my two small children. We had free use of anything, "You are in your home," Helene said, and that felt true. The apartment is close to the center, the train, the metro and Montpellier is a cool city. I hope very soon to return. Intangible: Open minded, generous, and perseptive, Helene has a special place in our familiy's heart. My children, though unable to communicate in French, understood immediately her kindness. She was patient with my faltering French and someone who I now consider a friend. I'm grateful to have been accepted into her home and to have met her, Kenya and the cats.
