Appartement T2 Panier Vieux Port rénové

😊: The apartment is accurately represented by the photographs. It is very small and perhaps more suitable for a single person or a couple (there were three of us, all friends). It has been renovated inside, as shown in the photos.. 😢: Regarding the location, it is in the “Le Panier” neighbourhood, an old-town area about a 10-minute walk from the port. It is a neighbourhood made up almost entirely of pedestrian streets, with very old buildings. It is known as the “artists’ neighbourhood” and there are many shops and businesses related to art and crafts. The façades of almost all the buildings are covered in graffiti (“urban art”), which gives the area a somewhat neglected and dirty appearance. The entrance to the apartment is terrifying. There is a narrow wooden door that looks like anything but the entrance to a home, followed by an extremely narrow and steep staircase with no lighting, which leads to the first floor where the apartment is located. The entrance is genuinely intimidating. On the other hand, the apartment was missing towels and bed linen (there were three of us, but there were only enough supplies for two people). We contacted the owner as soon as we arrived, and the towels and sheets were brought to us the following day. The apartment was generally DIRTY. It seemed that only a superficial cleaning had been carried out before our arrival. The most striking example was the bathroom bin, which had not even been emptied of the rubbish left by the previous guests. Overall, the apartment is furnished and renovated and could be a good option, in a neighbourhood characterised by urban art, pedestrian streets, numerous stairs and steep slopes. However, the access is truly intimidating and certainly unsuitable for elderly people, people with physical disabilities, or children. And the worst part of the whole stay was, without a doubt, the lack of cleanliness..

😊: Well kitted out apartment, good bathroom/shower arrangement. Central location in Le Panier district - we liked it but was knew it was going to be noisy with events outside.. 😢: Key pickup on first day from the shop was slightly stressful as we hadn't been sent the confirmation code - my instructions first said someone would meet us at the flat, then said to go to shop - it would have been so much smoother to have either the code in advance or someone meet us! We also got asked for a deposit of 500 Euros in advance - this was confusing as not stated in advance. We didn't get a response as to why this was, so assume it was a mix-up with another property, and didn't pay. Please make this clear on booking if this is the case..
