The building is old and we were a little bit worried when walking up the stairs to the apartment for the first time. However, the rooms are very clean,well equipped and well furnished. The view from the small balcony is wonderful. Our host was quite friendly and very helpful with answers when we needed help getting around town and parking. The location is exceptionally good. We were a very short walk from the extraordinary Chateau de Chinon and an easy bus ride into Montreux. We highly recommend this property.
