L'Éclat Chartrain : Appartement Cosy

On arrival we found the apartment dusty and cleaning was lacking, but not terrible. The Microwave position unsafe - it is placed 6’ high, above head height, and there is a real risk you will drop hot liquid on yourself. Not the fault of the property, the Car Park QR code didn’t work apart from once; this means you have to call the sleeping security guard, allow 5 minutes for them to wake up and answer your call, and then let you in or out. There are signs that this property is managed from afar, and standards are not kept high by whoever is in Chartres. There is a missing door handle on the bedroom. The Key box is not numbered, so when you arrive you have four options to work your way through until you find the right one. There was no soap in the bathroom hand pump. There was no tea towel, so you end up using a towel for drying dishes in the kitchen. The key to the main door jammed in the lock on two occasions. We applied a little bit of vaseline and it seemed to be OK, but we were worried we wouldn't be able to get it out. There is nothing here which is really poor, but lots of niggly items that just cause you not to have a relaxing time. A normal tourist would expect more. Be aware, it is up three flights of spiral stairs and the car park is also only accessible by using stairs (the lift only goes up to the -1 level). The Kitchen is tight on space for anyone wanting to do any catering. The location is great, and the room sizes are generous. Chartres was an interesting place to visit, and Fontainebleau was within reach for a day trip. Having the car park sorted with the QR code is great (if only it worked).

Nice appartement, clean, there is all you need in the kichen, bedroom and livingroom. Problems were fixed soon by Autrimo. Perfect location, near to station and cathedral. The only point of critisisem is that it is badly soundproofed.

Excellent séjour, appartement, propre et fonctionnel, très bien situé pour visiter Chartres
