On the whole, I'll keep good memories of my stay in this apartment. It certainly is small, but it was in good condition and the neighborhood is nice. The owner is very nice and helpful, readily willing to help with any problem at all. Before setting off for France, I thought the apartment would be equipped with a television set and an Internet connection because it was stated on the website and on the lease. But when I arrived there, I found out there were only the plugs for these items... I would have preferred this to be more clearly specified on the website, but it is only a small detail.

Thank you for your comments, Kristopher.
Nov 08 2012Further to Kristopher's review, we spoke with Antoine, the owner of this apartment. He explained that a TV is available upon request by the guests. We asked Kristopher about this, and there was apparently a misunderstanding. Antoine confirmed that internet can be installed in the apartment only if guests agree to pay for it. Our agents have been made aware of this so that they can make sure to inform future guests.

The apartment is a very good value and in a great location. The landlord is extremely friendly and helpful.
