Alexandre's apartment is seriously wonderful. The location is superb being in the high part of the city - very quiet, but only a few minutes away is the funicular which takes you to the heart of the "Vieux Ville" - and more importantly back UP! A convenience store next door with all the basics is very handy, and the must-have boulangerie is close by too, along with some great restaurants within an easy walk. PERFECT. The apartment is so well set out and beautifully (and uniquely) furnished. Antiques meet industrial with some kitsch thrown in!Comfortable bed and great shower, good internet and all necesseties (and extras) were provided. Alexandre's father met us minutes after we let him know we had arrived and showed us the apartment. A lovely person and, although his English is a bit limited, with some French on our side we had a great conversation! 3 nights was not long enough - if you're reading my review do yourself a favour and book a week at least in this fabulous apartment in this fabulous city.
