My wife and I spent 3 nights in the small studio which did not feel cramped, was very functional, clean, and centrally-located a few meters away from the main beach, shopping streets, and numerous restaurants/bars. The building itself is secure and well-maintained.

Luce-Paule responded promptly to my inquiry and when she was unable to welcome us herself due to a trip, her friend, Brigitte, let us into the studio. The latter was also so kind to pick us up at the train station since this was on her way.

All in all, we had a wonderful long weekend. For light sleepers, earplugs might be in order. Although the place is in a quiet courtyard with quiet neighbours, its central location does imply the occasional hum of a motorcycle or boisterous voices of irresponsible passersby.

I am a light sleeper but was fine because there was a little fan which played a dual role. It was quite hot during our stay so the appliance provided adequate ventilation at night and the constant hum masked whatever sounds might have disturbed my slumber.

Although we slept on a convertible sofa, the quality and make of the mattress was very good. Our bed was comfortable and it was also quite easy to pull-out and fold back up in the morning.

If you are looking for a central base from which to explore the city and surrounding areas, this is as good as you can get. If you value space and plan staying inside most of the time, you might want to consider other options.

Many thanks, Luce-Paule and Brigitte.
