Studio Centre Historique Toulouse Saint Etienne, Carmes

La douche n'a pas de porte

very clean and well equipped, and the big TV in the studio was absolutely amazing. AC is working very well, which was very critical to me in summer.

The refrigerator smelled funny and I opened it for a couple seconds and the entire room smelled funny, and it took quite a while for the smell to fade off

Great location, can't be better! In the old downtown, where you can feel that old spirit and see mostly locals sitting in cafes, bars, restaurants, and for me it was very important, to feel how locals live, and to avoid touristic spirit. But at the same time, very near all sightseeings that kinda are supposed to be seen , where the crowd is. The apartment is also cool: very small, but for one person it's ok. Just toilet without the door is kinda strange option. The tricky thing was with the bed; it should be found out! But once you find it, you enjoy,cause the matrace is very comfortable as well as pillow and blanket. The apartment has everything that you may need for staying: small refrigerator, microwave oven (personally i would still prefer some stove ), huge TV that means nothing to me cause I don't watch TV, but maybe useful information for someone, also very modern heater, in the toilet also all you need and all new and modern. In short, the apartment has cool style. The problem was the absence of sound insulation: if a person above you simply walks, you can hear it... And if people next door open and close the doors, it's such a noise that one night I literally couldn't sleep, cause of talks and noise from the neighbor's apartment. Internet was great, as well as everything else in the apartment that is modern and new, in a great historical building, in a peaceful street, but this sound insulation in the building may be real problem.

The absence of sound insulation..

good location

difficult to understand how to gain access (photos were not in correct order); difficult to access the key; apartment door seemed ill-fitting; pillows were very uncomfortable; lots of noise from fridge, TV
