Jacques and Jean are excellent hosts who are keen for you to enjoy their city. They responded quickly to our queries prior to the trip and offered helpful advice, both then and on our arrival.
The Airbnb photos correctly show the apartment is well equipped, very comfortable and tastefully decorated. We stayed for only one week but could have stayed considerably longer had our programme allowed. The apartment was spotlessly clean on our arrival.
The kitchen has everything one might need to self-cater. The apartment comprises a kitchen/dining open plan with separate lounge, bedroom and bathroom [shower, toilet]. The shower is very good with hot water being from an infiniti gas water heater so no worries about having a cold shower. The apartment is on the first level with your host in the apartment above. There is no lift. Being on a side street, there is very little traffic passing by.
The front-loading washer/dryer is located in the kitchen. There is a clothes-drying rack sufficient to cope with a medium wash. We stayed during autumn and found the apartment very warm. However, there are both heaters and air conditioners — all wall mounted – should you need to vary the temperature.
There are several supermarkets within a five-minute walk. The apartment is in the centre of the old city centre, and with the city being flat walking is very easy. The majority of the city’s attractions are within 30 minutes’ walk, most a lot closer. There is a very good wide promenade area next to the river for enjoying a walk in the sun.
Jacques and Jean were good hosts and responsive to all of our enquiries — when we mentioned that we might like to watch a Rugby Test Match, Jacques provided a list of local sports bars where the game would be playing. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jacques and Jean’s apartment.
