When I saw the photos and description I was immediately drawn in and I'm happy to say it lived up to the expectations and more.
It's a lovely place to return to after a long day of doing whatever you do. Seeing the trees right outside the window sway in the wind is so peaceful. Everything was completely up to par and I especially appreciated the presence of a bath. The apartment was stylish, clean, bright, had great smelling towels, a clothing iron... Never during my stay was I left wanting for something.
I was warned by a friend this part of town could be a bit busy, which was my only real worry beforehand, but it was actually really nice and I can be sensitive to that kind of stuff. The apartment is located on the quiet end, away from the street, too. Everything's within walking distance, from the old town, the Art Nouveau district, the central station to plenty of great coffee spots and all the rest of it.
Finally, Olivier was a great host. Immediately got in touch after I sent my first message. His contact with airbnb users is clearly a priority. All the info provided before I got there was very complete. When I arrived at the apartment he kindly welcomed me and we talked through a lot of the great spots around town. All just very kind and helpful.
I won't forget about this place and would love to return eventually.
