Check-in: We were extremely disappointed as Alix did not inform us about the works going on in the courtyard, where the concrete was being dug up. Upon arrival, we were concerned by the huge hole at the entrance of the apartment building- it was unsafe to step into the building. This was soon covered up but a pre-warning would have been necessary. In the description, there was no mention of building works and it was noisy in the daytime.
Location: A very noisy location, we could not sleep at night. On the last night, Alix told us a party was happening above the flat- with no care about our early wake-up to catch our train home, or the quality of our rest. We had a very unrestful sleep and felt disregarded. Great location for boutique shops, bakeries and metro stations.
Flat itself: the bed was really comfy and the flat was clean and tidy. Great cooking facilities and heating was very sufficient. The bathroom was too small for my partner who is approximately 6 foot tall- would also be unsuited for those with a larger frame (shower is teeny tiny!).
Overall, had an OK stay- disappointed with a lack of restfulness and being on the bottom of Alix's priority list.
