Fabrice is a lovely, friendly person, the location of the apartment and the view from one of the windows is outstanding. However, you are really paying for this view as the apartment itself is not as clean as it should be, the wear and tear of the fixtures and fittings could be improved, the decor is outdated (what’s with the black and white Marilyn Monroe wallpaper?) but most importantly, sleep was an issue for myself and my young daughter. Firstly, there was no way to block light coming into the apartment from the kitchen window - which unluckily is directly opposite some illuminated cinema adverts (a big cinema is directly across the street) - there really needs to be a curtain or blind at this window. Secondly, the sheets and pillowcases (and towels, I later found out after showering) smell a little bit of cigarettes. Like they’ve been stored in a room where people have been smoking.
But other than that the view was so amazing that I was happy to make the sacrifice -although perhaps the price of the apartment should be cheaper to reflect the negatives.
It would also have been nice to have a comfortable high back chair or sofa in which to sit in front of the view. Perhaps a small table and chairs in order to have meals/drinks in front of that amazing view.
