I booked the place in February when all the reviews were positive so I hadn’t seen the June review that reported no wifi or tv. That’s what I walked into. Nothing was working: the elevator, the television, the internet. You don’t really need the elevator except that Laurent relies on it in his directions to the apartment, and it can be confusing if you forget that in France the ground floor is 0…. I considered the lack of TV a blessing. But the lack of internet was a problem and it took a couple of messages and more than 24 hours for Laurent to address it. He gave me the password for a cellular wifi modem he keeps on the premises, so this seems to be an ongoing issue. The regular modem and TV were visibly disconnected.
That being said, it’s a great little apartment for a minimalist, in a terrific location just off the Place de Terreaux, which is the hub of the city. It would be a good value if it lived up to its listing. Maybe it will again. I actually still recommend it if you don’t need the TV and internet.
