Sebastien answered our queries promptly before our arrival. We arrived before lunch and we were allowed to checkin early, which was really appreciated. Having seen the photos and read all the reviews, we knew it was the home of small children, which suited us fine, since being grandparents of 8, we are well accustomed to toys etc in the house. The apartment was a real flashback for us to the bright & cheerful student digs of our cash-strapped early years - with the big difference that we did not have a high speed Internet, or good quality washing machine (much appreciated) or a dishwasher (didn't use since I didn't want to buy a box of detergent tablets for only two or three washes). The location was perfect for us. An easy walk to the city centre and tourist attractions and also an easy walk to the conference venue. We didn't use the buses, but they are only a couple of minutes away, including one which goes right to the airport. Several supermarkets are very close by too.
All in all, we had a good stay, although if I am honest, I think the demographics of the neighbourhood is much more tilted towards the younger population than grandparents, with the bars and takeaway foods.
