Although the apartment is very well situated it definitely isn’t suitable for a quiet stay, we were unlucky enough to have Liverpool/Real Madrid fans making merry on 2 of the nights we were there but even on a normal night the street is a really buzzing noisy place to be. This is excellent if you want to join the revelers but not if you want some sleep! We went to bed at midnight and the noise carried on way past that. As the apartment is in a 17th century building it has all the quirks of an old building which are unfortunately out weighed by the tiredness of the decor etc. On arrival the entrance was very old and untidy, we got the key from the Creperie below but weren’t told this by Anna until the day of arrival, there are 4 flights of stairs which we were expecting however the apartment is in need of total refurbishment. Especially the bathroom which was very dirty with cracked floor tiles and dirty wall tiles and a cracked toilet seat. There was only 1 toilet roll. On the whole the floors in the rest of the place were clean, the bedding was ok and there was hot water once we had fiddled with the buttons on the boiler. There was not a kettle so we had to boil water in a saucepan . There was only 1 key which would have been a problem if one person wanted to stay in as you can’t get out of the apartment without a key.
We were also not told about an infestation of mice either and found out via signs in the building. With the whole building being subject to a fumigation and pest control order. Luckily we did not come across any, however the lack of communication on the matter was alarming.
