While I did not get to meet Veronique due to my transportation being delayed, I did have lots of added communication with her. She was very helpful in more ways than I could have hoped for. From arranging transportation to the train station and the airport to checking in and making sure that things were going OK, it was a great experience. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a difference… Like adding hooks to the towels so they could easily be hung up, having teabags available for a quick beverage, and then of course there’s the shampoo, conditioner, soap, washer/dryer… all these things helped make her house my home. On top of that she also had travel guides, maps, and brochures so you could be highly educated when deciding what events and attractions you wanted to see in the area.
Now let me describe her place… her place is on a busy street however the noise from the street does not come in to the apartment. You walk in through the first door in there is a terrarium like area. You can see that this building is at least four stories high. It’s got magnificent arches, plants, and apartments around. Her apartment is on the ground floor so there are no steps to climb. We found this very useful after traveling with our luggage all day. As for the place itself; It’s just as you see in the pictures. There were three of us and we each used a different bed. Nobody complained about their bed not being comfortable. That’s a great start! The look of the place is very modern especially for being built in the 1600s. The domed ceilings and archways added a lot of character. The bathroom was very clean and it looked like it could have been newly remodeled. Very cute and very well taken care of.
As I had mentioned, I did not get to meet Veronique due to our transportation being delayed. However, it was her husband who was able to meet us. Along with how helpful she was during our trip, I cannot forget to mention how helpful he was when we got there. We asked about a few of the specific sites we wanted to see and not only did he give us directions on how to get there, he also gave us some tips on what to do when we got there. If you decide to book this Airbnb, you will not be disappointed.
