This grand old place comes with the dilapidated romance of a Parisian apartment although some of the quirks were less romantic. It is a beautiful apartment with high ceilings and amazing architecture. It has the "wow" factor for sure. Peter was really helpful in his communication and gave us four sets of keys which really helped out our group. You really just move into his place with seemingly little adjustment - family photos and belongings are everywhere which wasn't a problem for us but may feel strange for some. It's important to note that you do not have the "entire property" as listed - there are three student flats in the top of the apartment which are self-contained but share the front door and staircase and have access to your kitchen, living room, bathroom etc. Had we known this we wouldn't have booked it as some of our group found this really uncomfortable - particularly one night where someone upstairs was having a really big argument. Other than that we didn't hear from them but the thought of not knowing if someone was there or not made us feel uncomfortable. For us, one of the showers didn't work which was also frustrating as we were on quite a tight schedule so it meant waiting for morning/evening showers. Part of the charm of the place is it's age but it also meant the corridor smelled really bad and one of the floorboards between the bedrooms kept flipping up and catching our feet as we walked through. That is perhaps when the charm failed a little. The position of the apartment is a 20 minute walk into the town which is great although the area doesn't have the cafes and restaurants that many of the other areas do. Also, you want to avoid walking through the financial district (which is between the property and the old town) late at night as there are "ladies of the night" and a few shady characters hanging around. After one eventful walk home we got cabs from then on. Peter did helpfully warn us about this.
