La Venelle du Bassin

I really enjoyed my stay. The apartment is beautifully designed with great attention to detail. The terrace and the view from the window are wonderful, and the bed was very comfortable, so I slept very well. It was also nice to have the option to turn on the heating during the cold weather. Christelle is a very attentive and caring host. The location is excellent, and there is free public parking within a short walking distance. Overall, a great place to stay in Honfleur.

Nothing to complain about. One small suggestion would be to provide a complimentary bottle of water, especially for guests arriving late when nearby shops are already closed.

Owner met us and handed over the keys and gave us a quick tour of the property

Location is excellent, as you are in the heart of the town of Honfleur. It is also surprisingly quiet after 10pm, because all the businesses that stay open longer are slightly further down the street. The apartment is very spacious, with very well stocked kitchen. The necessities such as tea, coffee, sugar etc. were all provided

We rentad the "Balene" apartment, and these comments only apply to it, others in the building are different. These were not downsides per se, just more like the word of caution: 1. The apartment is under the roof, which is very slanted, so the ceiling height is very uneven, and if you are above 6ft tall, some area of the apartment may not be available for you, and you will be constantly bending your neck walking through. 2. The apartment is under the roof, so in hot weather it heats a lot, and cools very slowly, even with provided fans. If you plan to stay here to escape a heat wave (many people come to the seaside for that), you are not going to find comfort. For the majority of the year, this is not an issue. Finally, if you have a lot of heavy luggage, beware: the stairs are steep and narrow, and you have to climb to the top floor

Good communication. Very responsive. Great street. Very close to the centre, yet very quiet. Close to the free car park, shops and sea.

Half the property has reduced headroom, so it's a bit tedious to bend all the time walking through it. If we go back, we won't pick a loft conversion flat. We also kept tripping next to the stairs as the floor had a tiny step. When asked about recycling facilities, they said they don't offer it as it's too far. We found out too late that it was only a few meters from the flat, so it seems they can't be bothered to offer a separate bin. I wouldn't mind emptying them myself at the end. No shower gel, only shampoo. Apparently, we have to use the shampoo for everything. Odd.
