L'Arena - La Bulle

😊: Lots of room. Fully equipped with a cooker and microwave. Also a washing machine, useful for longer stays. Hot shower. Youtube on tv. Ample Parking. Quiet enough at night. A good base for touring the Forgotten Front.. 😢: The living room echoes a bit. Could do with a few wallhangings to dampen the sound. The double bed I used sagged on one side. I slept on the settee which was very comfortable. I slept well..

😊: It was conveniently located for our travel to the Eurotunnel. We needed an overnight rest, and that´s what we got. The apartment is otherwise quite basic.. 😢: The high rating on Booking is a bit deceiving and unrealistic. The house had seen better times. A few points of feedback: There was no soap in the bathroom, and the bottle was not filled (as mentioned in previous reviews). One of the bedside table lamps in one of the bedrooms was not working. The one in the living room only partially. There were no bedside table lamps in the other bedroom at all. The bedding for the sofa bed still felt a bit damp, probably not dried properly. These are simple things that can be resolved with a little more attention to detail. There was no light outside the main entrance, which is not pleasant on an already pitch black street, and it made it difficult to find the right key lock. But the biggest turn down was "the garden". It was advertised as a garden with outdoor seating and even a BBQ, which in reality is just an unkept, muddy outdoor space that is not being used at all, judging by all the spider webs on the door shutters..

😊: Great location for accessing the Indoor Arena. Supermarket and shops area close by.. 😢: The toilet brush was broken, as well as the bathroom sink stopper..
