LA ZONA Y LA CASA

L’accueil et la disponibilité de la propriétaire sont top

The neighbourhood is nice, clean and quaint. The apartment is spacious. Separate toilet and bathroom, which is convenient for a big group of people. There is air conditioner, washing machine, dishwasher (bring your own capsules). It has iron and ironing board, many towels and bedsheets. In the fridge there was bottled water and snacks. The WiFi works good (but you need to connect via QR code).

Unfortunately, after reading so many good reviews we were unpleasantly surprised. The apartment is a bit old, the furniture too. It is one the second floor, no elevator. Communication with the owner was slow, because the owner was on vacation during our stay. For 4 adults there is only 2 double beds. The additional beds stated in the description are provided if there are more than 4 guests or for additional price of 15 EUR per bed per night. The description of 5 beds is wrong and misleading. The sofa in the living room is leather, small and not made for sleeping, so it won’t work to sleep there. Windows: One bedroom doesn’t have any windows. It does have a fan, but when it’s warm outside, the air became stuffy during the night and there is no way to air it out. The window in the other bedroom leads directly onto the road, and when the window is open, you can hear every scooter and pedestrian passing by, quite loudly. Keys: There are 3 keys to get into the apartment: key for the fence, for the house and for the apartment itself. It was difficult to open the door to the house (from outside the house, you need to push the door the opposite direction that it opens to, push hard) and door to the apartment (when closing, you need to turn the handle all the way up, horizontally). It was very frustrating trying to figure out how to open and close the doors. WiFi: Turns out there are 2 different WiFis, we initially connected to a wrong one and didn’t have any internet the first day. You need to connect via the QR code on the fridge. This wifi works good. Cleanliness: The floors were not very clean. There was dust on the floor and crumbs on the living room floor. Location: The tram is 10 mins away by foot, metro is 25 mins away by foot. There is intermarche on the tram station, or carrefour 7 mins away which is a bit far.
