Laurent kindly allowed us to leave our bags earlier than check in and we were offered late check out. The appartment is close to two major train stations which was convenient.
Unfortunately the apartment was advertised as a loft which we were expecting to be on an upper level which we assumed would have windows to let in air and light, but it was on the ground floor. It had three small windows in total which looked out onto a small bin area which was enclosed by tall buildings. The bin area was outside the bedroom window and neighbours dumped their rubbishy day and night making sleeping difficult due to the noise. It also meant that the windows could not be opened due to not only the noise but also the smell. This meant the apartment was dark and stuffy although fans and portable air conditioners were provided to help with this.
The apartment appeared larger in the description than it was due to the window between the living area and the bed room being removed from some photos and was replaced by a white wall with three pictures hanging on it, making it appear to be another room that actually didn’t exist .
The apartment was described as accommodating up to 5 people but unfortunately this meant there was no room to store our cases and was uncomfortably crowded.
Laurent was very pleasant to deal with and was prompt with his communication. He did say that he had altered the loft listing so perhaps the listing mistake was an error with the website.
Please be careful when booking this accommodation.
