One member of staff, a bearded one, wearing a sweater, was so rude and obnoxious. A scary experience. On the other hand, the other staff members were kind and supportive I have to admit.

I didn't spend too much time in Lille so it wouldn't be fair to rate it either too good or too bad. From the quick look of the town it seems to be a really nice and quiet and family friendly town.
