This apartment, just a few of hundred metres south of the Port de Bourgogne tram interchange, is located on a back street in a slightly downmarket district. There is a glimpse of the Garonne from the living room!
Near the flea market at ‘la flèche St. Michel’, there is an excellent bakery close by and it is only a short walk to the Capuchins market with a great range of restaurants and produce.
The apartment is located on the second floor of a refurbished eighteenth/nineteenth century stone building although it retains hardly any original features from its past.
It is small and compact but well planned, well equipped, clean and comfortable, (apart from the dining stools at the breakfast bar which we found extremely unforgiving!). The apartment might also have benefited from a little bit more written information about the area.
Our only real criticism of this apartment was the noise from the occupants above, early in the morning and late at night when we were sleeping (or trying to). It was not so much that we could hear their muffled footsteps on the floor but the fact that the floor squeaked in places when walked on.
We did contact our host, Julie, about the noise and she responded quickly and offered to contact the occupants (who possibly may have been her guests or staff?) but this did not seem to appreciably reduce the noise.
