So first off, this was my very first solo international visit.
I found the place ok enough, although once I got inside the building it was super dark. The only light coming into the building I could find was a temporary switch that would light the entry way only. Once you got to the stairs you are on your own. Note: keep a flashlight or a phone with a light handy, you will need it - even if the sun is super bright outside! I’m not sure the host can do much about the building in general but oh well.
Once in the apartment you will be fine though. The apartment is amazing and has a lot of little touches. It was super clean, modern and comfortable. I was amazed the apartment was part of this building.
There were convenient items through the apartment that I didn’t really make use of... like ironing board, iron, cooking items, shower stuff, sample toothpaste, etc.
I didn’t actually see or speak to anyone in the building - not Philippe or anyone at all. However Philippe was upfront with all necessary information and responded very prompt to any questions I had. But all in all it was a great experience, I would definitely be back.
Thanks for having me,
Duncan
