The location of this apartment couldn’t be better. Pretty much everything is in walking distance, whether in the presqu'île, the old town to the west or the newer part to the east. The presqu'île isn’t too touristy, while being lively and full of attractions and lovely shops. The front door of the apartment block is on one of the most lively, fun streets in the city, full of restaurants, cafes and bars, but the apartment is set way, way back off the street, looking over an interior courtyard, so there’s absolutely no street noise. There are good curtains and blinds which cut out the light, and that plus the quiet meant I slept really well.
The apartment itself is very nice. I think it is excellent value and would suit a solo traveller or couple very well - but personally. I think it’s a bit too small for four people. The sofa is large and very comfy. The bed is very firm (I’ve found that’s the norm in France). The kitchen is fine, but petite and not really equipped for lots of cooking. The shower was very good - strong, with lots of hot water - but the tray wasn’t draining properly - I’ve let Nouzha know. There was a problem with wifi while I was there - I had no internet access for three days and couldn’t use the TV for the whole trip. Nouzha and her husband worked really hard to find a solution, but it was a frustrating situation.
Check-in was very smooth, with very clear pre-arrival information. There is a good, small lift - essential, as the apartment is on the fifth floor. The liveliness of the street meant the area feels very safe.
I would definitely recommend this apartment, and I hope to return.
