    Airplane noise was disturbing, especially at night. Electrical outlet in bedroom was falling out of the wall and seemed unsafe. Owner could have been more responsive to our needs.

    Location was convenient to the metro and about an hour’s walk to downtown. Grocery shopping was nearby, too.

    Perfect location, clean appartment, shops and cafes.

    I missed only 2 extremely small things while staying in the apartment (but I am sure the host Anne-Lise will provide them after my comment): - hotel slippers - after 10 hours of being out all day long, in the evening you want to take off your walking shoes, also I needed them when going out of the bath tub or after a shower; - a mat in front of the bath tub (but I put a towel on the floor). You can hear airplanes monoeuvering to and from the airport but only during the day - they were not flying between 23 p.m. and 6 a.m. So when you are out all day long this is not a big issue.

    Perfect location - 5 min walk from both metro lines - red and blue. Very clean and compact apartment, perfect for a couple. Extremely easy to get the keys. Very helpful and kind host (although we did not encounter any problem during our stay). Despite the little bit outdated furniture in the kitchen, it has a microwave, a big fridge, hot plates and and oven, a toaster, a coffee machine, hot water heater, a lot of cutlery, cups and glasses, a washing machine, no dishwasher. We stayed in October and we did not need neither heating nor cooling but there was a heating device in the bedroom. The terrace is very nice and good for smokers - with a small table and two chairs. Good ratio between quality and the price. A bakery and a grocery shop just across the street and a Liddle 5 min away, also many small local restaurants and bistros around. In general - I recommend strongly staying in the apartment!

    There was a problem with a pipe in the bathroom which leaked and had to turn off the water. It was fixed the following day.

    I really liked a lot of things: location, close to the metro station, a lot of bars and restaurants nearby, parks and museums also quite close. I also enjoyed the warm and sunny weather although it was windy especially in the morning and in the evening and it became chilly. The flat is nice and comfortable for 2 people.

    The showerhead couldn't be placed on the wall. The matress has had its days, should be renewed. In the bedroom there is a loose eletrical wall outlet. Could be dangerous. In the living room the sunlatches wouldnt close completely on the long windows. Its stuck somewhere inside.

    The location was top notch. Close to the metro station(s) and huge shopping mall. The appartment is clean and easy accessible.

    It was little too loud for us, as the isolation of the Windows is not perfect, so you hear the cars passing by and the planes too, as they pass there at take off.

    Cozy clean place, host is very responsive and nice, the metro is 3min walking away, there was even a garage we got to park our car for free (dont go there with a big car as it is very narrow).

    I booked an apartment in September and made an agreement a few days in advance that we come earlier and wanted to check in. The owner agreed on those pre-arrangements. When we came at around 11:40, no one was in the apartment and Anne-Lise did not pick up the phone for 15-20 minutes. I thought to book another apartment, since it was not clear, if we get our rented apartment or not. My wife managed to reach Anne-Lise half an hour later. Most probably she simply forgot to inform us about the code for the safety box, where we found the keys. Instead the owner came up with an excuse that the apartment should have been ventilated after the previous guest! Another strange request came a couple of days before our arrival that we have to make a bank transfer and pay for the apartment in advance. I refused such type of payment and left cash in the table before leaving, since no one came to pick up the money nor give us guidance concerning the area around. One disadvantage of the apartment is a small kitchen. If you are planning to cook a lot, it might be an issue. There is no parking at the apartment, so you have to find a spot on the public area, which might be challenging. You should get used how to open the entrance door. There is a trick how to do it. I was informed that the taxi would cost 10-12 euro. I paid 26 euro at the end...

    The apartment itself is good for vacation or for 1-2 days stay. It is not far from the airport, close to a few supermarkets and restaurants. We came with a baby, so Anne-Lise arranged a crib and toys for our kid. Overall, I don’t have any complaints about the apartment. It may get fresh in winter months but there are a couple different of heaters that you can use to warm up the flat.

    PARKING HORROR - If you need the parking, BEWARE! (Bad Host Experience)
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • One-Bedroom Apartment
    • Stayed 3 nights

    - It is noisy. Even with the windows closed and the blinds down completely, it is just beside a busy two lane street and it's loud. - The apartment feels like someone lives there and they just leave when someone is coming. - The sofa bed it’s really uncomfortable. - Please think of your worst parking experience ever and now multiply it by 1000. EXTREMELY narrow. I contacted the host several times asking for a picture or video (which she never sent) of the parking as she said the parking was narrow. I told her that my car was large (citroen Picasso) and that I was very worried. She told me it would be fine for parking at -2 as she parks her Mercedes E Station Wagon. The moment I just got the first ramp down, it was pure terror. I straight ahead contacted the host for help, as I was just in panic since suddenly the parking was at -4 and not anymore at -2. I asked her if I could just park it at -1, she said no. I asked if I could park it at -2 and she said no. She offered me to help me park it, and I said yes, but then she completely forgot she had told me so. In despair, even crying, I asked her for help as this was the most horrible parking situation I had ever encountered. She then said to not bother her as she was busy and if I wanted to cancel the reservation. Imagine that… just out of humanity, not helping someone in need (and in need because of your parking space). She then said that the parking was free. Sure, it’s free, but if you are travelling with a car is a MASSIVE selling point. Eventually I managed to take it to -4 reversing hand break on the narrow ramps corners. When I got down, I was shaking. I asked her if she could help me take it out as I was terrified. She said NO! That night I didn’t sleep at all thinking I had to take the car out. As I was leaving the apartment, she said I hadn't left the car park card. When I inquired about an official document for city tax, she found it offensive. I have proof of all. Worst host experience ever.

    The marble work on the appartment, in the bathroom and in the kitchen, its original and beautiful. The rest feels a bit old, although functional.

    Really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable bed and loved the balcony. The host was so kind and accommodating. We also really loved the style and decor. Great taste with so many interesting items. We had a bit of trouble with the water heater due to gas fluctuations. Our host was quick to assist over the phone. A new sticker to indicate the button positions and additional matches (as the starter is broken) to start the pilot would be helpful.

The apartment is cosy, fully equipped and perfect for a couple. Nice decoration with beautiful posters of French artists of the 50’s and 60’s and a large balcony. Very good WIFI connection.
