L'Escapade 1850 - One-Bedroom Apartment

😊: This room is located in a period building located on a reasonably quiet road with good access to Fontainebleau. We were able to leave our car parked at the accommodation and take a local bus to the chateau. The bed is large and really comfortable.. 😢: Being located in a period house means there is no lift and the room was located on the 2nd floor, accessed by a spiral staircase. For some visitors this climb could prove difficult especially if carrying a heavy case. The room itself has a very small kitchenette area which had very little essentials. There is no kettle and unfortunately no bowls to have cereal etc. There was only 1 water glass and although there were 2 wine glasses one was cracked and dirty. The fridge was effective but also did not look as if it had been cleaned. If you are expecting fluffy bath towels think again. I alerted these issues to the host who will be addressing this with the management company..

😊: The location. Being able to park the car in a secured place Comfortable bed Practical bathroom. 😢: The cooker was difficult to use, there were no instructions. I phone the number given if there was a problem and someone very helpful explain how to make the cooker work, but it was not easy. Having to go up to the second floor was a bit hard for my husband. I can't remember if it was mentioned that the studio was upstairs. We stayed in the same house in June and we were downstairs. The pan and frying pan were not clean. So it did not quite meet our expectations.

😊: Very clean. close to the train station and well connected to the center by bus. The host was helpful and communicative. Some fast food restaurants close by. The bed was extremely comfortable.. 😢: The small kitchen quite poorly equipped, would be practicar to add bowls for instance (for breakfast)..

😊: The building is in a closed courtyard with a parking space, which we looked for. The location is also good as it's close to some shops and restaurants. The apartment is okay, the best part is the bathroom. Overall, it was an okay stay, but I wouldn't really return.. 😢: I think it would be better to have practical furniture rather than this vintage French style. You have no real table to eat at, no couch, one very uncomfortable and wobbly chair, the bed feels short, there's no wardrobe or anything to put your things in, and the kitchen is SO small you cannot cook there at all. Not to mention the pan is so scratched and old that when making eggs, I had to throw them out because the whole apartment got super smelly, and the pan was smoking. A new pan would be great..

😊: Ideal location. 😢: Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues Stairs to entrance , and spiral stairs to top floor.
