Appartement Gambetta 65

😊: Beautiful French apartment. Well furnished. Very comfortable.. 😢: Tricky spiral staircase.

😊: The apartment was very spacious and generally well equipped. The location was, on the whole, very good. It was right in the centre of the town with easy access to all amenities. It had a large terrace which we were able to enjoy using at the wekend.. 😢: Communication with the owner was not particularly good. We had to email him/her the night before arriving in order to find out how to gain entrance. The owner was not proactive on this matter, Similarly, we had to ask by email as to what to do with the keys at the end of our stay. There were no instruction for any of the appliances which made things a bit difficult. Also the description of the apartment was at best, misleading. There was no mention of the fact that the only internal access to the bedrooms on the upper floor was via an extremely steep and narrow spiral staircase. As my wife has some mobility issues, she really struggled. If we had known about this we would not have booked the apartment. According to the description, parking is available. It wasn't. There was paid for onstreet parking on the main road but, in all the time we were there we never saw an empty space nearby. There was free parking about 400 metres away which we used but made loading and unloading the car a nightmare. Also no mention was made of the fact that there was ongoing building work happening just across the street. This had been going on for a very long time and the owner would have been very aware of it. Work started before 8 a.m. and went on until 4 p.m. Hardly relaxing and meant that we did not enjoy full use of the terrace during the working week..

😊: Elegant decor, very spacious and comfortable, wonderful location. 😢: the only thing that could be improved was that the hotplates were a little small, whoch made it challenging to cook with a large pan.
