Douceurs de Jeanne - Appartement 2 chambres au pied de la gare

😊: It looked good on Booking.com. 😢: I never got to see inside as when we arrived after a very long drive through England and France, the host would not let us in even to use the toilet until we paid a £500 deposit, which would be refunded after 14 days. As we were only staying for one night I did not think this reasonable and asked to be let in so we could discuss it and use the facilities. I did not know about this beforehand and if I had, I would not have booked. When I contacted the host they told me they had messaged me that morning whilst I was driving ( hence I did not get the message until arriving) needless to say if this was on the small print, it was very small - so my advice is to check before you book..

😊: Appartment size was good.. 😢: Had to make an online account on the day of arrival to secure 500 euros of money otherwise no acces to appartment. Would be nice if this was already mentioned before or directly after booking so people can decide up front. It was ok in the end because no money was taken. No airco or ventilators can be hot appartment..

😊: Everything worked. Bed was comfortable. TV was very good, as was washing machine, dishwasher and oven. The property was quiet. The lift was immediately outside the door. The apartment seemed safe and secure.. 😢: Shower base was old and needed upgrading. That said, it worked and it had a new , good , shower head. Didn’t like the bidet/ toilet..

😊: The host was very nice and accommodating. Our emails and any questions were responded to straight away right from the time of booking. The apartment was beautiful, well equipped and very clean. The facilities were excellent. There was nothing we needed that was not in the kitchen, bedrooms or bathroom. The balconies were also great. The location was perfect for our purposes. It was within walking distance of the venue we had travelled for. It was close to supermarkets, restaurants, the town centre and separately, a beautiful town square which had many interesting historical buildings/monuments to visit, as well as restaurants. There was also a shopping centre within walking distance. The train station and coach station were also within walking distance. Everything was 5-10 minutes away from the apartment..
