1. Host is an elderly French lady and does not speak English. It will be easier for French to communicate with host. For non-French speaking guests, there may be potential communication issue using language translation.
2. The apartment has personal touch of the host, with many personal items of the host that adds character to the apartment. However, There is potential issue if any of host’s personal item went missing. It will be difficult to account for the personal items.
3. The apartment’s curtain blind (like those from IKEA, googled similar product cost $30-40) in the living room peeled off on its own and we informed the host immediately. Host attempted to charge over $300 for item’s wear and tear when the item can be pasted back and rolled back up.
4. Kitchen is fully equipped but host doesn’t allow full cooking with strong food smell, which is not an issue for us, since we dined out daily. For family that wants to do heavy cook, do take note.
6. Apartment has two rooms, the main room is huge but the other room is small, more suitable for children.
7. Each room has a luggage stand against the wall but the host doesn’t allow luggage to lean against the wall to leave marks. We opened our luggage in the living room. The small room is also tight in space, not enough space to open big luggage. For small cabin bag, it shld be fine.
8. Apartment has a good river facing view and location, within 10 minutes walk to main shopping street.
