After a long and incredibly stressful day of travel, opening the door to this apartment was like a big warm hug!
From the very first communication the host, Nicolas, was a dream. He provided very clear and easy to follow directions for our arrival (in English) as well as great local knowledge and (delicious!) restaurant suggestions, so it was no surprise to find the apartment in immaculate condition which has been beautifully renovated with some modern touches added (like the fantastic electronically controlled shower!!). It has a lovely view of the river and town beyond which is within easy walking distance, secure off-site parking, a very convenient all-in-one washer/dryer, full kitchen, two wall mounted smart-TV's, and a bed which is like floating on air!
The apartment is, however, on the top floor of the building which is after three flights on a circular staircase which doesn't sound like much but when dragging large suitcases makes for an awkward entrance... This is of course more our fault for over-packing... And don't forget the warm hug that waits at the top! When we stayed, the apartment on the same floor was also being renovated. The works continued late in to the night but the bed was far enough away that we weren't bothered. Besides the neighbour's renovation, the only comfort we found missing in the apartment was an iron for our clothes but as we were only staying for two nights we didn't worry and I have no doubt that the helpful host would provide one if requested.
I would highly recommend staying at this apartment with my only regrets being that I didn't stay for longer and that after writing this review it will probably be booked out when we return.
Thank-you for hosting us Nicolas! Your apartment has been one of the highlights of our trip!
