The location of this apt was really great in terms of the sights and stores, but it is in a bit of a gritty feeling shopping center with several nail salons and a cinema. When we were shown how to get into the center to get to the main entrance of the apartments upstairs, Phillipe showed us the "late entry gate" that someone had tampered with. Hence, while we were there, we saw at least one or two homeless who "snuck" into the shopping center after 10 p.m. To find a place to sleep. This didn't feel great for us, but we weren't overly concerned. The apt itself was fine. We liked the following: nice dishes, good coffee maker (please provide more coffee pods for 4 ppl and 2 days); good TV; soap and some shampoo provided. We didn't like the noise from the street (the fan helped block out noise, but bring earplugs); the hanging lamp outside was on all night and shone into the front room; the towels were hard and brightly colored (we like clean, soft, white towels). Overall, though, this was a great value for location and size.
