The conclusions of the manuscript 1806.02080v1 questioning the adequacy ofthe recently proposed Gogny D1M* interaction for finite nuclei calculationsusing harmonic oscillator (HO) basis are revised. Several convergence andstability studies are performed with HO basis of different sizes and oscillatorparameters and the results show the robustness of the D1M* results for finitenuclei. This analysis is also extended to beyond mean-field calculations ofgenerator-coordinate-method type with D1M*. On the other hand, the existence ofa finite-size instability in finite nuclei when coordinate space methods areused to solve the HF equations (as shown in 1806.02080v1) is independentlyconfirmed for D1M* using an in-house computer code based on a quasilocalapproximation to the HF exchange potential. We confirm that the most affectedquantity in the coordinate space calculation is the spatial density at theorigin, but integrated quantities like binding energies or radii show a plateauagainst the number of iterations, where they are consistent with the valuesfrom the HO basis calculation, before diverging for a larger number ofiterations. A connection between the last occupied s-orbital in the nucleus andthe appearance of instabilities in coordinate space is observed.
