Functional & equipped duplex studio, Old Lille

Ligging

Het was koud en niet warm te krijgen met de airco

De uitstraling en sfeer, de meubels en kleuren en apparatuur in het appartement

De eerste trap, was stijl we zagen niet direct licht. We wisten niet goed wat ons te wachten stond. ( automatisch licht zou fijn zijn) We moesten over elkaar heen klimmen, ook in de nacht bij wc gang. Niet handig! De trap ‘s nachts best wat eng. Echt oppassen geblazen. Het sliep overigens heerlijk. En ach wat avontuur is ook niet erg. We hebben de pret er niet door laten bederven. Wat me wel echt dwars zat was dat er geen branduutgang/ nooduitgang of uitleg bij brand was. ( wel blusapparaat) Ik voelde me niet echt veilig onder het dak.

The flat was spacious, had aircon (only needed on the first day) and a bath, so that was nice. It was also quiet which was what I needed.

As a solo female arriving at night, the process of actually getting into the flat was not so fun as the number of the actual flat within the property was really hidden amongst loads of different instructions and they only send you the instructions once you've gone through a deposit form which I hadn't seen because I'd been so busy with work. There doesn't appear to be a human receiving messages to help on the other end. I was stood with my luggage in the hallway apologising to neighbours because I didn't know which flat to try to enter. If you have a lot of luggage I wouldn't recommend staying here as you're on the top floor and the stairs are very shallow and steep. Was slightly concerned I would fall and break my neck on the stairs up to the bedroom platform. Also on arrival, it would have been nice if there was at least a bottle of water in the fridge or a little map of the area. All you get on top of accommodation is a couple of coffee pods which was a bit disappointing.
