Pros:
The apartment is in a fantastic location, close to La Grande Plage and restaurants. The living room offers a lovely view of the city and ocean and is bright and airy. Although we didn’t meet the host, he was pleasant in the email communications.
Cons:
The bathroom is quite small and the towel heater rack has loose wiring and doesn’t appear safe for use.
Parking is expensive and although there is free parking 5-10 minutes away, it is difficult to find a spot in the busy summer months.
Although we stated we would arrive at 3pm, we were only notified at 3:30pm that a technician was going to enter the apartment to perform work for 30 minutes. However it took almost 2 hours, during which time the living room was unusable. We also had to stay since we didn’t feel comfortable leaving our belongings with two strangers in the flat. It would have been helpful to be notified earlier so we could have anticipated that the apartment would be occupied.
