Finding and parking at the flat was easy and Yann had arranged keys for us so that was hassle-free. He also emailed on the second day to see if we needed anything.

I think it's a bit misleading to call it a private apartment - there is an internal door (not an apartment-dividing door) leading into the neighbouring apartment, so it is basically one apartment with a door shut in between, and it feels like someone could come through at any minute. You can also hear every movement and conversation through the door as if it were happening in another room in your house.

Other than that it was ok - the furnishings were quite basic/cheap but offered the necessities. Coupled with the helpful but rather scrawled notices on the walls, it seemed like student accommodation rather than a home. We didn't go out into the yard as it was all overgrown and not very inviting. The internet was a bit intermittent, and dropped out on us a few times (despite there being an extension network).

The location was great - central for driving around to various areas and also convenient for public transport.

All in all I probably wouldn't recommend it as a place to stay for the price. It's ok if you're going to be out all the time and just need a place to crash, but then I'd just get a cheaper motel.
