Sebastien was very friendly and made my arrival smooth by letting my baby and I check in a little earlier through the self check in process which by the way was very easy and convenient.
I like the location because it’s pretty much all walking distance! Old town, Presquille, Bella Couer, nice restaurants, supermarket across the street, coffee shop downstairs. I don’t know if it’s always like that but there were quite a few homeless on the parking lot in front of the building. They didn’t bother me but I didn’t feel comfortable to walk alone with my baby at night. Specially because a lot of random people on the streets advised about pick pockets around.
The building is old, the elevator is a bit small but works perfectly, the apartment itself is just like in the pictures but it wasn’t as clean as it should be. There was a strong smell of mold when I walk in and on the next days as well. So I’ve open the window to circulate air everyday. I think it’s because there isn’t much sun light in the apartment and probably the windows stays closed all the time. The couch is comfortable but the bed in it I couldn’t use because the wood is so loose that I sank in it every time I tried to lie down. It wasn’t comfortable at all! They probably will have to change it to make it usable.
The internet was on and off during my stay so I couldn’t watch any Netflix videos without buffering every 10min so I gave up. But to use it on the phone only for social media, Google, etc, it worked fine!
The mattress upstairs is sturdy and very comfortable but there was spider webs and a lot of dust in the ceiling which was something I pointed out to them. Hopefully it will be better for the next family. Another good thing about upstairs and the lack of light in the apartment is that it’s very dark at night and even during the day with the lights off and the curtains closed. It was perfect to keep my baby asleep. The downside is going up and down the stairs holding him in a very low ceiling which made it super Awkward to move around. The wood on the ceiling is huge and has some cracks which I’m not sure if it’s fine but I was a little nervous with it. I also bumped my head on it a thousand times 😅.
The shower is great, the coffee machine is a plus, the water heater was dirty with milk and I didn’t have the proper tool to clean it so I didn’t use it.
There was dust on the floor as well so it was gross to walk barefoot.
When I texted Sebastien about the couch he sent someone immediately but he never gave me an answer or a solution to that issue. He only apologized later when I was already checked out.
In my opinion the apartment should either be more equipped with utensils and cleaner or it should be cheaper.
I also tried to cancel I a few hours after I booked because I found something better for my situation with my baby but I wasn’t allowed to get a refund even though it was far away from the trip. Think carefully when you book in advance or you will be only partially refunded.
