We arrived at the apartment a little early as Nicolas had previously told us we could leave our bags while it was cleaned, which was very accommodating of him. However, when we went in to drop our bags we were immediately told to take our shoes off as the wooden floor would get scratched. It felt a bit condescending that our host told us this along with clarifying that we should pull the shower curtain all the way round when showering and not drag the coffee table across the floor. We left and said we would be back after check in time (2pm). Unfortunately proper instructions were not given when explaining how the door lock worked so we didn't lock the door correctly when leaving the apartment. When we came back at 4, he was still in the apartment doing laundry. When my friends and i tried to shower, we found only 1 towel so we had to ask for more. the response was that it was in the dryer. When we found them, they were still wet so we had to dry them ourselves.
At a glance, the apartment was nice but the finishings were not complete, the bedroom light had cloth wrapped around the exposed wires and there were exposed wires in the bathroom too. the light switches needed covers and there was only one tiny mirror in the whole place.
The living area had no curtains and a flat adjacent so it felt like we were being watched.
On a positive note, he did leave us breakfast items and made some good recommendations for dinner. the apartment was well located, comfortable and clean apart for the toilet floor which had splash marks (there is no sink in the toilet - you have to go across the living room to the bathroom).
