City trip Strasbourg

Parfait! Super rapport qualité prix. Literie confortable, équipement de base avec électroménager moderne. À proximité du tram et parking gratuit dans la rue. Hôte réactif Appartement propre et fidèle au descriptif Je recommande :)

The surroundings aren't very nice, but the tram stop is a 5 minute walk away so you can reach the city centre in about 15-20' altogether. The flat itself is nice, spacious and has a lot of light AND there are shutters on all windows. The heating works well, which is not always a given in France. My two teenage girls took the bedroom and I slept on the sleeping couch, which was a bit hard, but wrapping myself in the duvet made it soft enough to have a proper night's sleep. The kitchen is great. It has a kettle, coffee maker AND a conventional oven (many places have just a microwave, which I'm not a fan of). No toaster or any kind of seasoning. There's a big Lidl right around the corner, which is handy for grocery shopping and they have decent bread there too.

Finding the entrance was not easy. Better pictures explaining where to look exactly would help. The neighbourhood is a bit strange. It's like a kind of business park area and we were unlucky enough to encounter some really unfriendly characters as we were trying to find the apartment block and the entrance. As a result, the two teenage girls I was travelling with didn't dare go out on their own after dark... which was pretty early in the day, since we were there in the dead of winter. The towels and bed linen smelt like laundry that couldn't dry fast enough and that was a bit unpleasant. Also, there was a drying rack with laundry on it in the bathroom that we were instructed not to touch, which was odd. We were given 2 big towels and 1 small towel for 3 people for 3 nights, which is a bit scant. After a phone call, we were "allowed" to take an extra big towel from the drying rack. Also, for our own towels to dry after showering, there was only a small rack hanging from the glass shower wall, too small and narrow to hang 3 towels, let alone opening them up so as to dry faster. All in all, it was the only reasonably priced flat I found for the period I was there (the week before Christmas) and I'm happy it was available, but I think that, in less busy periods, I'd rather stay somewhere else for this price. Also, if you want to rent the place for 3 people, take a sleeping bag or something to soften the sleeping couch.

Easy pick up for key. Spacious appartment with a good location, easy access to Strasbourg.

We couldn't use the balcony even though it's one of the things in the advertisement. It looks like there has been a very big fire which made us feel kind of unsafe. I am sorry for the owners tho, no one wants to go through that! The kitchensupplies are very basic. There were long brown hairs everywhere. I mentioned this to the host, we didn't get an apology. There was also a very bad smell in the bathroom. Since the host expects you to leave the appartment super clean, this felt a little weird. It's a very basic and cold appartment, it doesn't feel inviting.
